Once upon a time, a hope called Idomeni

Once upon a time, a hope called #Idomeni

By the end of 2015, it had become increasingly difficult for refugees to enter Europe through Bulgaria from Turkey. The land border between the two countries had been one of the safer routes, less deadly than crossing the Aegean Sea from Turkey’s western coast. However, the Bulgarian government soon tightened security and began building a 100-mile fence to cover its entire border with Turkey. This followed the barbed wire fence built on Greece’s land border with Turkey back in 2013, completely fortifying the area where the three countries meet.
