Several hundred right-wing supporters have rallied in Austria against asylum-seekers who have been streaming into the country in search of a better life in Western Europe. Demonstrators were marching toward the refugee camp while chanting anti-government slogans and holding banners reading "No Way" or "You will not make Europe your home." An official leading rescue efforts on the Greek island of Lesbos has warned the death toll in the eastern Aegean Sea is likely to rise in the coming days unless urgent action is taken to stop smugglers in nearby Turkey. Antonios Sofiadelis told The Associated Press that smugglers were using increasingly dangerous tactics to take refugees to Greece. Croatian police say a 63-year-old woman from Afghanistan has died of natural causes in a refugee camp in the first case of a migrant death there since a river of asylum-seekers started entering the country in mid-September.
