Migration

21.3 million people are at risk if this doesn't change

Migrants line up to receive sandwiches offered by volunteers of the organisation "Solidarity Kos" outside Captain Elias, a derelict hotel where migrants find shelter on the Greek island of Kos, August 17, 2015. Nearly a quarter of a million migrants have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe this year, according to the International Organisation for Migration, with numbers surging in the summer when calmer weather makes the voyage marginally less risky.
