Around 1,500 migrants from Asia and the Middle East found sheltering in abandoned warehouses in Belgrade in order to survive a cold snap which on Monday (January 9) brought night-time temperatures to below -20C in the region.
Hundreds of men, mainly Afghans, slept on concrete floors, burning plastic garbage to keep warm which gave off choking black smoke.
Dozens of Asian, Afghan and Pakistani migrants, some with children, are camping out in makeshift tents on Serbia’s northern border, waiting for their turn to try to enter Hungary.
