GREECE. Kos. September 11, 2015. A migrant from Pakistan is interviewed immediately after arriving on the beach in Kos. Tens of thousands of migrants have attempted the journey in flimsy craft from Turkey to Kos. Hundreds of thousands have set off to other Greek islands. The death of Aylan Kurdi the previous week set off a firestorm of attention to the plight of migrants and refugees (largely from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan) crossing into Europe. More than 500,000 have arrived thus far in 2015.
