Refugees getting stuck in Greece

Predictably, Balkan countries are closing their borders to refugees/immigrants heading north from Greece.

"Concerns are mounting in Greece that the country could have to deal with thousands of trapped migrants and refugees, after border crossings to Balkan countries to the north were abruptly closed.

Macedonia’s decision to prohibit entry to anyone not perceived to be from wartorn countries such as Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq has fuelled fears that the EU’s weakest member may be left picking up the pieces.

“The nightmare scenario has started to develop where Greece is turned from a transit country to a holding country due to the domino effect of European nations closing their borders,” "

The Guardian

Thousands (up to 7,000, according to some reports) were arriving in Lesbos alone per day a little while back, though the weather is turning now which will deter people presumably.

What to do?
