Reuters Pictures of the Year 2015: Migrant Crisis, Part 1/2

A luxury yacht speeds by as Iranian migrants paddle an engineless dinghy trying to cross a part of the Aegean sea from the Turkish coast (seen in the background) to the Greek island of Kos August 15, 2015. Reuters photographer Yannis Behrakis: “It was a typical summer morning in Kos. Using my binoculars I spotted a small dinghy carrying six to eight people. A luxury yacht passed close by and the occupants of the dinghy started paddling frantically in case the captain of the yacht didn’t see them. I noticed a woman and a baby onboard. The sea was calm with no wind and they all wore life jackets. They reached the shore exhausted and one man, who later proved to be the father, carried the baby on to the beach. They all collapsed on the beach, some of them crying. Staff from a nearby luxury resort offered them water and food. A little later a tourist walked by. It was a surreal scene. The Iranians thanked the onlookers and walked towards the town”. (Photo by Yannis Behrakis/Reuters)
