"Walking Dead"- actor rescues Syrian children from migrant boat in Greece
More than 80,000 desperate migrants have fled to Greece to escape persecution, conflict and war, leaving a Government struggling to contain a rapidly growing crisis. Their plight has been highlighted by The Walking Dead actor David Morrissey, who joined the coast guard and helped rescue children from life boats arriving at the island of Lesvos this week. Tens of thousands reach Greek islands by sea, many of them travelling from Syria, with the coast guard rescuing 15 boats a day. Morrissey, an ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) , described the deplorable scenes he witnessed as “the challenge of our age” and urged European leaders to deal with the growing humanitarian crisis by offering “meaningful and credible alternatives” such as resettling migrants.
