At least three migrants – two children and a woman – drowned on Sunday when their boat sank off the Greek island of Lesvos, the coastguard said, the latest fatalities in Europe’s refugee crisis.
Around a dozen others, mostly Afghans, are still missing after the rickety vessel, carrying 60 people, went down at dawn as it made the perilous crossing from Turkey, according to the Greek coast guard.

Jetzt wurde auch der erste Hangar am ehemaligen Flughafen Tempelhof zur Flüchtlingsunterkunft hergerichtet. Nun warten alle auf die Flüchtlinge.
Sonnenstrahlen erhellen den riesigen Raum, tanzen über die Uniformen der Bundeswehrsoldaten, lassen die niegelnagelneuen Ikea-Betten noch glänzender erscheinen. 500 Doppelstockbetten haben die Soldaten und die vielen freiwilligen Helfer der Feuerwehr in Hangar 1 des ehemaligen Flughafens Tempelhof ausgepackt und aufgestellt. 500 neue Matratzen werden aus Tüten gerissen, wandern in die Betten. 500 Kopfkissen folgen.
