Former Press photojournalist documenting refugee crisis in Greece
The Syrian refugee crisis in Europe is much closer to home than you might think. Former Coeur d’Alene Press photojournalist and North Idaho College graduate Gabe Green, 23, is in the midst of the action on the island of Lesbos, Greece, where thousands of refugees are pouring in every day. Green captured two images Wednesday of a refugee boat on the Aegean Sea — the first image of the boat loaded with more than 280 people and the second image, a minute later, just after the boat sank.
