A handout image provided by the World Press Photo (WPP) organization on 18 February 2016 shows a picture by Russian photographer Sergey Ponomarev for The New York Times that won First Prize Stories in the General News Category of the 59th annual World Press Photo Contest, it was announced by the WPP Foundation in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on 18 February 2016. The picture shows migrants and refugees arrived by boat in November 2015 near the village of Skala on the Greek island of Lesbos. Under Europe's system of open internal borders, the island's thinly patrolled, easily accessible coastline, within sight of the Turkish coast, might as well be the frontier of France or Germany or Sweden.
