-- AFP PICTURES OF THE YEAR 2015 -- A picture shows the body of a child washed up ashore on the Greek Lesbos island on November 1, 2015. More than 218,000 migrants and refugees crossed the Mediterranean to Europe in October -- a monthly record and more than during the whole of 2014, the United Nations said. Some 3,440 people have died or gone missing trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe so far this year, according to UNHCR numbers last week. AFP PHOTO / ARIS MESSINIS == GRAPHIC CONTENT ==
