    Arriving to Europe
    More than 1 million refugees arrived to Europe in 2015. Not since the Second World War had so many people been forced to flee their homes and the refugee crisis became the biggest political challenge all over Europe. The vast majority of the refugees sailed from Turkey to the northern coast of Lesbos. The small Greek islands is just 10 kilometers away from the Turkish coast but the crossing can be very dangerous. Most refugees made the journey in small rubber dinghies but sometimes larger boats arrived such as this one on the 16th of November 2015, where about hundred people mainly from Syria and Iraq were crammed together.

    Island of the drowned
    In October 2015 the Muslim graveyard on Lesbos was full and 67 dead boat refugees were stored in a freezing container at the morgue. After several weeks with bureaucratic problems a new graveyard was established and this is the first burial at the new site. Three adults and three children were buried on November the 14th. Three days later nine refugees drowned again on their way to Lesbos. According to the International Organization for Migration 3700 refugees died in the Mediterranean Sea in 2015. 800 of those in the Aegean Sea around Lesbos.
