Migrants Begin Their Journey Through Europe In Kos

KOS, GREECE - AUGUST 29: Nabil Cinan, a migrant from Syria who broke his leg while crossing the Aegean Sea, rests inside the tent where he spends his days waiting for authorities to issue legal immigration papers August 29, 2015 in Kos, Greece. Migrants from many parts of the Middle East and African nations continue to flood into Europe before heading from Athens, north to the Macedonian border. Since the beginning of 2015 the number of migrants using the so-called 'Balkans route' has exploded with migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey and then travelling on through Macedonia and Serbia before entering the EU via Hungary. The number of people leaving their homes in war torn countries such as Syria, marks the largest migration of people since World War II. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)
