Halo Rashid, 29, is trying to rescue his loved ones - including his heavily-pregnant sister and newborn nephew - after they fled Iraq in fear of their lives.
Mr Rashid, who is originally from Kirkuk in Iraq, claims he has been living in the UK for the past 16 years after moving with his family, and apparently holds a British passport and runs a dry cleaning business.
Speaking exclusively to the MailOnline from the Idomeni camp on the Greek Macedonian border, where he arrived earlier this week, he said: 'I have been worried about them for some time.
'I knew that their lives were in danger if they stayed any longer, but after they set out I didn't know anything until I got the news they were here.'
He was contacted by the first members of his family to arrive at the camp five days ago. He then flew to the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki on March 7.
When he arrived yesterday, 11 of his family had already reached the border. As of today, another seven have arrived and all are gathered together in a dirty tent village where many are so desperate they are boiling grass for food.
Mr Rashid, who lived in east London until November last year and has posted pictures of himself in London on social media, says he studied business management at the University of Westminster.
He has travelled freely around Europe and back to Iraq in recent years, suggesting he is free to travel and supporting his claim that he is a UK citizen. He showed a British passport to MailOnline.
It is the one of the first known examples of a British man flying into the refugee camps to bring family members 'home'.
He said: 'I am desperate to get them out of here. One of my sisters is more than eight months pregnant, with the baby due any time.
'The other sister has a baby that is now only seven weeks old, and when she set off he was 15 days old. There is no way they would have made the journey if their lives were not under threat.

He showed MailOnline the tent the family are living in. The floor is covered in liquid mud and many of their possessions have been soaked by the constant rain.
'I don't how much longer I can stay here,' he said. 'I also have to get back to the UK, but I can't leave them here like this.
'I was hoping to get the British Embassy to help me but I think they're probably flooded with similar requests. I don't know how much they can do for me.'
But in some ways they are more fortunate than others.
Mr Rashid has been able to buy supplies on the Macedonian side of the border, so his relatives have better diets than many of the other refugees living in the camp.
Some have even resorted to cooking grass just to be able to give their children something warm to eat.
