Δεκάδες Σύροι πρόσφυγες έφτασαν και σήμερα στην Κω αφήνοντας πίσω τους την κόλαση του πολέμου και του αλληλοσπαραγμού και ελπίζοντας σε μια καλύτερη ζωή για τους ίδιους και τα παιδιά τους.

Τουλάχιστον 124.000 μετανάστες και πρόσφυγες έχουν φτάσει μέχρι στιγμής φέτος στην Ελλάδα μέσω θαλάσσης, κάποιοι και μέσω Τουρκίας, σύμφωνα με την Ύπατη Αρμοστεία του ΟΗΕ για τους πρόσφυγες στην Ευρώπη.

Περίπου 1.400 άνθρωποι έφτασαν το πρωί από την Κω στον Πειραιά προκειμένου να συνεχίσουν το ταξίδι τους προς τον προορισμό τους που είναι συνήθως οι χώρες του ευρωπαϊκού βορρά.

Αλλά είναι προφανές πως όσο η αναταραχή στην Αφρική και τη Μέση Ανατολή συνεχίζεται και πολλές χώρες μαστίζονται από πόλεμο και συγκρούσεις, τα φουσκωτά με τους πρόσφυγες και τους μετανάστες δεν θα σταματήσουν να φτάνουν στις ευρωπαϊκές ακτές, κυρίως τις ελληνικές και τις ιταλικές.

The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) called on Greece to take control of the "total chaos" on Mediterranean islands, where thousands of migrants have landed. About 124,000 have arrived this year by sea, many via Turkey, according to Vincent Cochetel, UNHCR director for Europe. REUTERS/Yannis Behrakis TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY
