The latest in the odyssey of hundreds of thousands of migrants crossing Europe in search of a new life.
ABC news reports that Croatian police says that a 105-year-old Afghan woman is among the
migrants who have arrived at the country's main refugee camp near the
border with Serbia.
Police say the woman came to the Opatovac camp around noon Tuesday after
crossing from Serbia with a group of migrants. Spokesman Domagoj
Dzigumovic says authorities have been checking whether she needs medical
attention.
Many children and sick or elderly people have been among the tide of
people hoping to reach Western Europe. Dzigumovic says more than 260,000
migrants have entered Croatia since mid-September when the so-called
Balkan corridor switched from Hungary to Croatia.
Dzigumovic says the influx of refugees has decreased by 1,000 to 2,000
per day in the past few days, but he stresses that it could intensify
again.
