Desperate migrants scramble over each other to grab firewood in shivering conditions on the Greek-Macedonia border as EU leaders prepare to urge Turkey to agree to 'large scale' deportations


The men caught up in the crowd which surrounded a truck delivering firewood to the overflowing refugee camp (pictured, main and inset) are among more than 13,000 people who are currently trapped on the Greek side of the border, near the village of Idomeni.

It comes amid warnings that Greece - already struggling with a buildup of 30,000 migrants - was expected to receive 'another 100,000' by the end of March. 

As a result, EU leaders are preparing to press Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to take back migrants who do not qualify as refugees as part of moves to 'break the business model of people smugglers'.
