HeadlineNov 03, 2015

The United Nations says more than 200,000 refugees crossed the Mediterranean Sea to Europe last month, the highest monthly total on record. More people made the dangerous crossing in October than in all of last year. Over the course of a single day last month, more than 10,000 people arrived in Greece. U.N. officials say the record flow is expected to continue next year amid upheaval in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries.
