“You have people that have small fractures to people that have blisters on their feet – cuts of different kinds – to graver situations in that you have people with epilepsy, high or low blood sugar and people with heart problems and different diseases on the respiratory tract”, said Januzoski.
UNHCR emphasised that this included responding to basic needs but also fully respecting the dignity and human rights of refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants. “We are anticipating that this influx and this route is going to continue at the rate of up to 3,000 people per day”, UNHCR spokeswoman Melissa Fleming told a news briefing.

The UN refugee agency stressed on Tuesday that it was working closely with the Serb authorities to help meet the needs of more than 10,000 refugees and others who have arrived in Serbia in recent days following dramatic scenes at the Greek border with Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
