A group of refugees and migrants arrived on the Greek island of Lesbos from the nearby coast of Turkey on Friday, making the crossing in a rubber dinghy provided by people smugglers.

During the crossing, a Turkish coast guard boat approached and stopped the rubber dinghy carrying the migrants for some time, trying to prevent the migrants from crossing.

The coast guard followed the dinghy after it started moving again, however, Turkish authorities pulled back as migrants moved into Greek territory.

Many of the migrants who arrive in Turkey have already made the exhausting journey from Syria.
