tens of thousands have lost their homes because of the typhoon.more an more refugees trying to make to it northern urine face being stranded in transit countries in poor conditions. as winter and the poor weather approach. in the last few hours croatia has reopened its border with serbia. slovenia slovenia which trying e number of refugees, and u.n. refugee agency warned that more than 10,000 people most of them syrian are trapped in serbia. helping to maim their way eventually to germany, emma

hayward records. >> against the driving rain and cold they waited and waited with little or no protection against the elements. some had been here all night, heaping to croshoping to cross r between serbia and croatia. >> we don't have any more rain coats, as you can see, children of ten days old, hypotherm yah . the cn conditions speak for themselves. >> hungary's decision to seal its borders means refugees having to find new routes and countries quarreling how many people they can cope with, passing through their borders

each day. in no man's land between croatia and slovenia, many were left out in the cold, struggling to understand why they weren't allowed to move forward. >> these people here want to cross this area to another place. they don't want to stay in slovenia one moment. they want to cross only, don't want money, don't want food, don't want anything, only cross. >> eventually, slovenia opened its borders with croatia, allowing some to pass. emma hayward, al jazeera. pictures of those who recently arrived from croatia into slovenia. trucks to the left are bringing in supplies. we are told in fact some things

being thrown out the doors. whether they are anything to do with supplies, equipment, and so on. but we have been told by our corresponds and other people on the ground that certain provisions are being made for them, provisions made for them and provisions supplied for them. they are apparently waiting for buses to take them to austria. and in slovenia are our correspondent paul brennan, what is happening where you are, paul? >> well, the refugees keep arriving albeit unofficially at this point in time. we have just seen four refugees just coming out of the darkness. 600 meters to my left-hand side. they came trudging out of the darkness in the heavy rain,

darkness, clearly freezing cold. red cross and police are caring for those refugees who have managed to cross the border today. this small group of four looked rather nervously. they weren't sure whether to approach the gathering. in the end, a police officer has escorted them through. they will be processed through and given blankets and food i suspect. the ones made it through have been the lucky ones because slovenia was at pains for saying they wouldn't take any more than 2500 refugees per day. that limit was broken because of the influx of refugees from croatia. it led to a little bit of diplomatic war of words. u.n. accused slovenia of failing to abide by an agreement which

it made, putting slovenia with no other option but to bring them in for humanitarian reasons. and this news late on now today, that the opening of a new crossing between croatia and serbia will come as very welcome news here because i would expect it to row leave some of the pressure at a we have been seeing here. the refugees try to move on to germany. the opening of the new crossing will hopefully release some of the pressure that's been building here. >> despite all the wide words, we t conferences with governments getting toam gettine music stops somewhere in germany

or nearby. >> reporter: it's a rather bleak way of putting it but i can't disagree with you david, no. essentially what we've seen is countries unwilling or unable to cope with the influx and deciding that the best course of action from a humanitarian point of view, given the fact that they believe they can't house the refugees or care for them themselves, is to on-pass them to their further destinations in western europe, cubs like germany and sweden. unofficial agreements that i referred the earlier, to stop a bottleneck occurring at any one point, agreement has been maid to first of all slow the pace of the refugees but at least allow a trickle to continue to go through. it has caused problems, serbia has 10,000 refugees estimated it

frankly doesn't want within its territory and wants to get rid of. but other countries are unwilling or unable to transit them through. there are continuing problems. these summits we have and unofficial agreements that take place don't seem able to to cope with the reality we are seeing on the ground. >> bleak assessments, paul brennan, thank you. in croatia we have a report. >> reporter: croatia opens its border, all refugees which were waiting on serbian side of the weather under bad conditions, rainy cold day to enter the country and now they are actually walking towards this place a couple of kilometers away and they are expecting all these people to come their way. authorities are rend some

control around this camp. dozens of new police officers which came as a part of police reenforcements and camps themselves can accommodate four to 5,000 people. they are already more than 2,000 people inside. so it's obviously going to be a problem to accommodate and assist all these people that are coming here. >> well, antiimmigration demonstrations have been taking place in the german city dresden. first anniversary of the founding of the anti-islam peg pegida movement. israeli police have ordered they say an immediate investigation to killings in the southern city of beersheba.

admitted to hospital. israeli police has ordered an investigation and say people who take the law into their own hands will be prosecuted. security measures haven't worked yet. having sealed off the west bank with a separation barrier, the netanyahu government has started the same process in east jerusalem. no political significance this these barriers but many palestinians point out the irony of israel dividing a city it says should be united. and at the bottom of these barriers written in hebrew are the words "temporary police barrier." however, many palestinians believe like the occupation these could become permanent. mike hanna, al jazeera, occupied east jerusalem. warned against people taking

matters into their own ahands. >> i would like to send my condolence he to the family of the worker from eritrea. we are in the middle of a long struggle. i think it's obvious that we will win it but this sometimes causes friction between civilians and the centers of the attack. you should evacuate and allow security and rescue forces to work. we are a law-abiding state. no one should take law into their own hands. >> an executive committee member of the plo says israel is deliberately provoking. that is the reason the people are rising up. more from renee oday, in the area. >> she had very strong words, she said that ever since everybody can remember here nobody has been able to live quite easily. what she also said was that a

majority of these young people who are going out and protesting are largely for the most part unarmed. there are a few who are armed, and carry out these alleged attacks but basically at the end of the day she kind of said that you can't really be surprised when the situation is this bad in the occupied west bank that people are going to get angry. now i just got off the phone a couple of minutes ago with somebody from the office ever palestinian president mahmoud abbas. whether or not a meeting is going to happen on friday or saturday remains to be seen. but back to the comments that hanan ashrowi said, they are waiting for international protection is as well as investigations and the palestinian people have the rite
