Migrants battle the elements in Greece

 
As if fear, hunger, thirst, worry and exhaustion were not enough to endure, a new trial emerged Thursday for those on the 1,000 mile-plus trek into Europe: torrential rain.

A Macedonian border policeman scuffles with refugees and migrants as they wait to pass in heavy rainfall from the northern Greek village of Idomeni to southern Macedonia, Thursday, Sept. 10, 2015. Thousands of people, including many families with young children, braved torrential downpours to cross Greece’s northern border with Macedonia early Thursday, after Greek authorities managed to register about 17,000 people on the island of Lesbos in the space of a few days, allowing them to continue their journey north into Europe.

Thousands of people, including many families with young children, braved downpours and muddy fields Thursday to cross Greece's northern border into Macedonia, in what Greek police said was the largest single wave of refugees they had seen so far.
