TOPSHOTS Women migrants and children from Syria take a rest as they arrive on a beach of the Greek island of Lesbos, after crossing on an inflatable boat with 35 people, the Aegean Sea between Turkey and Greece, on August 12, 2015. Some 124,000 people, almost all of them fleeing war and persecution in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, have come ashore since the beginning of the year -- a 750-percent increase from the same period last year, the UN refugee agency said on August 7.
