The Guardian: Thousands of refugees rush into Croatia after days in 'no man's land'
Between 2,000 and 3,000 people who had been stranded in dangerous conditions have been allowed to enter Croatia
Thousands of refugees trying to make their way to western Europe have rushed over Serbia’s border to Croatia after they were stranded for days in dangerous and deteriorating conditions.
The United Nations refugee agency said that between 2,000 and 3,000 people who had been stuck in a virtual no man’s land for days had been allowed to enter Croatia, a move that is likely to put more strain on neighbouring Slovenia, which has already said it can only cope with 2,500 arrivals per day.
