| 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. |

| The aunt was left looking after her nephew while his mother received emergency medical attention after collapsing as the boat was about to dock. |
