Migrant mother is forced to wash new born baby in puddle

Harrowing pictures show the moment a mother is forced to wash her newborn baby in a puddle as migrants face appalling conditions in an overcrowded refugee camp on the Greek-Macedonian border.
More than 14,000 migrants are crammed into a camp near the village of Idomeni as Balkan countries continue to seal their borders to stop refugee families progressing further into Europe.

Greek officials have ruled out using force to remove migrants as conditions inside the camp become increasingly desperate.Nikos Toskas, a deputy minister for public order, said:

“We have to persuade them (to move) and we can’t do that using tear gas. Half the people there are women and children.”
