Refugees and migrants entering Europe in 2015 set to hit 1m

The number of migrants and refugees entering Europe is expected to pass one million by 22 December, the International Organisation for Migration has said.

The organisation estimates that so far in 2015, 991,000 migrants and refugees have crossed European borders, seeking a better life or fleeing from conflict.

The flow of people into Greece "remains robust and dangerous" at around 4,300 daily, the group also said.

Since 16 October, there have been 422 deaths at sea, an average of seven a day, according to the group.
