A shocking image has emerged showing a refugee mother washing her newborn baby in a puddle.

The mother was forced to wash her child using the puddle water outside her tent in the Greek border village of Idomeni.

She is one of around 14,000 migrants stuck at the border with Macedonia after several Balkan countries closed their borders to prevent families from crossing.

Thousands of migrants are arriving in Greece each day and not many are leaving, which has caused a major problem in overcrowded areas.

Tensions are flaring in the Idomeni camp where there have reportedly been fights among refugees as supplies and food were distributed out.
