A group of refugees tried to dismantle tents which were blocking railway tracks at the Idomeni refugee camp on Tuesday. However, the group encountered resistance from another group of refugees who were protesting on the railway tracks at the Greek/Macedonian border camp.
Scuffles broke out between the rival groups as several men attempted to remove protest banners and posters from the tents.
On Monday, Macedonian police demanded that Greek police remove the tents blocking the railway tracks so trains could start running again. Since then, some refugees are trying to convince the protesters to move from the tracks.
Around 14,000 refugees remain stranded in Idomeni, with Doctors Without Borders having warned that the health of the refugees has worsened since Macedonian authorities closed the country's borders with Greece.
