Available facilities and conditions<\/p>\n
The number of refugees in the camp amounts to about 70. This number fluctuates \u00a0with the sporadic arrival and departure of refugees of various origin.<\/p>\n
The refugees are worried about the uncertain situation they have found themselves into and the lack of information from the institutions. Their psychological state is worrying and they have a serious need of a psychologist.<\/p>\n
Institutional treatment<\/p>\n
In the course of the week, several individuals, as well as families, arrived and were sheltered in the camp. In separate cases, two families from Syria which were headed towards the camp in Preshevo, Serbia, were caught by the Serbian police and were sent back to Macedonia. After they returned to the camp on Tabanovce, they were provided with medical and humanitarian aid due to exhaustion. In another case, a refugee from Afghanistan arrived in the camp. According to him, he had come alone, on foot from Greece. On the same day, two more refugees from Pakistan arrived and were provided with accommodation in the camp. In the course of the next day, two more refugees originating from Congo arrived. They expressed willingness to go back to Greece and were consequently told that they will be sent to Gevgelija by train. Towards the end of the week, a woman from Syria arrived in the camp, who had allegedly travelled with her family, but got separated from them upon their arrival to Serbia as was the only one sent back to Macedonia. The woman was given a place in the camp, and the MLSA are making efforts to bring the family back together.<\/p>\n
