Greece says it plans to return 10,000 migrants to Turkey by the end of next year. The announcement follows a deadly fire at the heavily overcrowded Moria camp, on the island of Lesbos.
Between 10 and 12,000 refugees - mostly women and children - are still camped out at the border between Greece and Macedonia in 'miserable conditions', the UNHCR says.
Refugees
The European Union has urged member states to dramatically up their game and admit 6,000 refugees a month from overstretched Greece and Italy in order to revive flagging efforts to solve the migration crisis.
