Brussels – More than one million refugees and migrants have reached Europe by sea since the start of 2015, the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) says.
More than 80% of the 1,000,573 people arrived in Greece, with the majority landing on Lesbos island, it said.
About 844,000 travelled to Greece from nearby Turkey. Most of the others – over 150,000 – crossed the Mediterranean from Libya to Italy.
The migrant crisis is Europe’s worst since World War Two.
