3 Afghans Drown as Refugees Seek Route into Macedonia
-----------------------------------------------------

At least three Afghan refugees have drowned while attempting to cross a
river from Greece to Macedonia after the closure of the main border left
them stranded. The refugees were among about 1,000 who tried to make it
to Macedonia amid harsh border restrictions all along the Balkan route.
A number of them formed a human chain over coursing river waters to help
each other across.
