A young refugee, recently arrived on a beach next to Scala Scaminea village on Lesbos Island. The little girl arrived with her parents and another girl on an inflatable boat with a group of 30 people, mainly from Afghanistan. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) estimates that more than one million refugees, mainly from Syria and Afghanistan, arrived to Europe over 2015, generating what has been considerated as the mayor refugee crisis of the continent since the Second World War. This picture captured a spontaneous look to the camera, the girl is eating biscuits while her parents are collecting their luggage before starting their walk to one of the refugee camps on the island. Behind her, lifeguard vests are being abandoned by other refugees and we can see the Aegean sea and Turkish coast.
