A Greek police operation that began early in the morning to evacuate the refugee and migrant camp in Idomeni has now stopped for the night and will continue in the following days, authorities announced late on Tuesday.
Police said that 42 coaches carrying more than 2,000 refugees and migrants have left the camp, bound for various accommodation centres in Thessaloniki and nearby areas.
A strong contingent of police will remain on the scene while the evacuation process continues, until the camp hosting roughly 9,000 people in the last months has fully emptied.
