The International Organization for Migration says more than one million migrants and refugees have now relocated to Europe in 2015.

That's four times the total from last year. Half a million of those people have fled war-torn Syria.

The United Nations says four out of five migrants and refugees have made the treacherous journey by sea from Turkey to Greece.
