Several dozens migrants landed on the northern coast of Lesbos early on Monday.

Footage filmed near the village of Skala Sykaminia shows a large group of migrants, including women and children, being escorted by the local police and camping by the seaside while waiting for the authorities to relocate them to a reception centre.

A child has died and another was hospitalised after a boat with 48 people onboard capsized near the island's coast on Monday morning. A member of the Greek coast guard staff suggested the passengers overturned the boat themselves as they saw the rescue ship approaching, according to local media.

At least 1,000 refugees and migrants have reached the Eastern Aegean islands since Sunday morning according to local police.
