Europe is witnessing the biggest refugee crisis since the second World War.
And yet, a solid solution still seems far away.
Nearly one quarter of a million migrants have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe this year, according to the International Organisation for Migration.
Of these, about half have come to the Greek islands...including Kos.
There, the situation is desperate. It is hot, food and water are scarce, and many migrants are living in tents or in cardboard boxes on the street.
Syrian refugees are being processed for asylum - but that has led to scuffles among other migrants who say they are being left behind.
So what are the processing criteria?
And who gets to decide?

Die Unterbringung von syrischen Flüchtlingen auf einer Fähre auf der griechischen Ägäis-Insel Kos geht voran:...
ReplyDeleteAm Wochenende und bis Montagmorgen gingen knapp 500 Menschen an Bord, wie die Behörden mitteilten. Priorität haben Kinder und ihre Mütter sowie Familien. Das Schiff war am Freitag angekommen und dient zur Registrierung und befristeten Unterbringung syrischer Bürgerkriegsflüchtlinge. Insgesamt sollen 2.500 Menschen untergebracht werden. Flüchtlinge aus anderen Staaten werden zunächst nicht auf der Fähre aufgenommen, was zu teils gewaltsamen Protesten führte.
Am Samstag hatten sich nach Fernsehberichten etwa 50 Afghanen, Iraker und Pakistaner eine Schlägerei vor der Polizeistation von Kos geliefert. Sie hatten dort auf ihre Registrierung gewartet. Die Behörden wollen vermeiden, dass es zu ähnlichen Zwischenfällen an Bord der Fähre kommt..............http://kurier.at/politik/ausland/fluechtlinge-bursche-auf-kos-verdurstet/147.425.263
