Bangladeshis cry for help
A number of Bangladeshi migrants, who have been stranded for several days across the Greek-Macedonian border, are crying for help not being allowed to continue their journey to Europe.
Conditions for hundreds of migrants stuck on Balkan borders worsened on Sunday as temperatures dropped and a first smattering of snow fell, reports Reuters.
"Bangladeshis we are not terrorist", "We are Bangladeshis please save our life" and "Bangladeshis we want freedom" read three of the placards they were holding up.
"Shoot us or save us please, shoot us we never go back” were inscribed on the chests of two Bangladeshis stranded at the border.
Photographs of these helpless Bangladeshis were snapped by AFP and Reuters newsmen as they wait to cross the Greek-Macedonian border.
