Lesbos lifejackets: Message to the EU

In late summer, the beaches of Lesvos were covered in thousands of lifejackets discarded when those fleeing accross the Aegean Sea made it safely to shore. Now, they, along with the new ones desposited almost every day, are collected in a rubbish dump, near Molyvos in the north of the island. Whilst the rubbish dump serves as a powerful reminder of the more than one million men, women and children who were forced to risk their lives at sea in 2015 and the 70,000 plus who have risked it so far in 2016, it does not include the jackets of those who didn't make it. In 2015 alone 3,771 people drowned trying to reach Europe, we cannot let that happen again. We need #SAFEPASSAGE and we need it now.
