Photos: Syrian refugees journey through Europe

Getty Images photographers Dan Kitwood and Win McNamee are documenting refugees' journey as they flee war in Syria and head towards safety in the European Union. Our previous gallery covered the first part of the trip: by boat from Turkey to Kos, followed by a ferry trip to Athens.

In this gallery, we catch up with the migrants and refugees in northern Greece, about to cross over into Macedonia. Up to 4,000 people make the crossing from Greece into Macedonia every day. The travellers make their way to a provisional camp near the border town of Gevgelija for some rest before resuming their journey. Inside the camp migrants are registered and given permission to be on Macedonian soil for 72 hours with free passage.
