Greece has begun evacuating thousands of stranded migrants from the makeshift Idomeni camp on its northern border with Macedonia.
The operation began at dawn and witnesses reported police vehicles and buses standing by to transfer people to better organised facilities.
Hundreds of riot police have been deployed but officials say force will not be used.
At least 8,400 people - many of them women and children - are at the camp.
Most of them had been on their way to northern Europe when they became stranded after Macedonia closed its border with Greece.
They have been promised much better facilities at newly-created asylum processing centres near Greece's second city Thessaloniki.
