Holiday island of Kos swamped by migrants
The holiday island of Kos has been swamped with the arrival of 1,200 migrants to Greek Islands in the last two days.
The migrants have been picked up from overcrowded inflatable dinghies in the eastern Aegean Sea by Greek authorities.
Other islands where refugees have arrived include Lesvos, Chios and Farmakonissi.
Some of the new arrivals to Kos – mainly Syrians and Afghans – are staying in a deserted hotel.
Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey have agreed to create a common border police and customs centre at the Kapitan Andreevo border checkpoint between Bulgaria and Turkey, which also borders Greece.
