Abdul Rahman, 4, and his friend, Miran Ali, left, both from Afghanistan sleep together under the trees on the grounds of the hospital in the Greek island of Leros, Monday, Aug. 17, 2015. This Greek island that was once a place of exile for political prisoners has become one of the country's most welcoming communities for migrants fleeing chaos and war, thanks to a dedicated grass-roots volunteer network and tourists interrupting their vacations to provide what help they can. But even on Leros, a 75-square kilometer (29 sq. mile) rocky outcrop in the Aegean Sea with a permanent population of fewer than 10,000 people, the welcome mat is fraying under the sheer numbers of migrants _ hundreds arrive in smugglers' boats most days _ making the perilous boat journey here across the Aegean Sea from Turkey.
