Conditions on the Greek island of Kos are so chaotic the government is housing thousands of Syrian migrants on a docked ship that is to house and process them in a bid to ease conditions onshore.Several thousand migrants are staying in hotels on the island if they can afford it, but more often sleep in tents, abandoned buildings or in the open.Approximately 2,300 people have died crossing the Mediterranean this year, in what Dimitris Avramopoulos, the EU Migration Commissioner, described as the “worst refugee crisis since the Second World War.” In this photo, newly arrived Syrian migrants wait in the port of Kos to be registered on the Eleftherios Venizelos liner.Photo: Louisa Gouliamaki / AFP / Getty Images -- source link
