Snapshots of the fortnight (September 2 to 16)

A Syrian refugee is helped out of a dinghy that deflated due to the rocks on the shore, on the isolated islet of Nera in Greece on September 10. The refugees, who sailed in the night and landed on Nera after mistaking it for Agathonisi, were stuck on the islet. Agathonisi, a tiny island with less than 200 residents, receives about 300 to 600 refugees and migrants every day.
