Greece: Kos, 18 August 2015
A woman enters the registration centre in Kos. Each day, hundreds wait outside for their names to be called. It can take over 10 days in some cases to process the registration of arriving migrants. For Syrians, the process is now easier, thanks to a ship-based registration centre docked at the island. For others, like this woman, the wait continues.
So far in 2015, 160,000 migrants have arrived in Greece, already almost four times more than in the previous year. Kos, just kilometres from the Turkish coast, has received thousands of migrants already this year.
