Refugee influx in the island of Lesbos

A small boat full of refugees landed in a steep cliff in Cape Korakas at night. They light a fire to dry their clothes and later they tried by the light of their mobile phones to climb the steep cliff. Everyday hundreds of refugees, mainly from Syria and Afghanistan, are crossing in small overcrowded inflatable boats the 6 mile channel from the Turkish coast to the island of Lesbos in Greece. Many spend their life savings, over $1000, to buy a space on those boats.
