| Boats arrived one after another on the shores of Lesbos between Eftalou and Skala Sikamineas on October 27. More than 40,000 migrants and refugees have arrived on Lesbos in just one week. |

| Survivors struggle in the waves after their boat capsized. Looking further out, a Spanish lifeguard, who was among the volunteers at the beach, swam out to help others. |
 |

 |
| The aunt was left looking after her nephew while his mother was treated by paramedics after collapsing as the boat was about to dock. |
