Waiting in Macedonia in hope of a train to the EU

Hundreds of people wait on the platform of Gevgelija train station in Macedonia for a train that will take them to the north of the country, from where they hope to continue into the European Union.

Najeem Zazai is one of those waiting. He hopes to cross into Serbia, and then into Hungary, a member of the EU.

He hopes ultimately to get to Germany.

Mr Zazai left Afghanistan where he used to work in construction and irrigation, but was left without a job and without a future there, he says.
