The UN Secretary General has urged countries to do more to help Greece cope with Europe’s migrant crisis as it struggles with its own economic hardship. Ban Ki-moon’s call came during a visit to the eastern island of Lesbos where close to 3,400 people are living in temporary shelters. Around a million people crossed the Aegean Seas from Turkey to Greek islands last year in small, inflatable and often overcrowded boats.
