Migrants Begin Their Journey Through Europe In Kos

KOS, GREECE - AUGUST 31: A Syrian woman speaks on the phone while clutching her documents that have been wrapped in plastic to keep them dry during her crossing of a three mile stretch of the Aegean Sea from Turkey in a dinghy August 31, 2015 in Kos, Greece. Migrants from many parts of the Middle East and African nations continue to flood into Europe before heading from Athens, north to the Macedonian border. Since the beginning of 2015 the number of migrants using the so-called 'Balkans route' has exploded with migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey and then travelling on through Macedonia and Serbia before entering the EU via Hungary. The number of people leaving their homes in war torn countries such as Syria, marks the largest migration of people since World War II. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
