Greece. Afghans brave rough seas to cross from Turkey to the Lesvos, Greece

            A refugee from Afghanistan helps his wife out of the sea, after the inflatable boat they used to cross part of the Aegean from the coast of Turkey to Greece crashed on a rock off the coast of Lesbos island. ; With winter setting in refugees and migrants are still trying to make the dangerous journey towards the Greek island of Lesbos in overloaded inflatable boats, before the weather makes the crossing impossible.
Vulnerable groups like women, children and the elderly are amongst the ones who are often in danger during the perilous boat ride that lasts four hours. 
Often braving rough seas many arrive on the shores of the island in a state of shock and suffering from hypothermia. 
The vast majority of those attempting the treacherous journey are fleeing war, persecution and violence in their country of origin and are in need of international protection.
