a New Invasion by Sea
Walls work! Year-on pictures show how Europe's new Iron Curtain stemmed the tide of migrants through the Balkans - now continent faces a new invasion by sea
- This time last year hundreds of thousands of migrants were heading to northern Europe through the Balkan route
- But since February this year many countries along the route have closed or tightened their borders stopping flow
- Recent jaw-dropping photos of sites that only months ago were packed with refugees show how tide has stopped
- Instead people smuggling gangs have switched to more dangerous routes across the Mediterranean to Italy, Spain
