Migrants gesture after boarding a train after crossing the Macedonian-Greek border near Gevgelija, Macedonia, September 5, 2015. A record 50,000 migrants hit Greek shores in July alone and were ferried from islands unable to cope to the mainland by a government already floundering in financial crisis and keen to dispatch them promptly north into Macedonia, whence they enter Serbia and then Hungary.
