<p>The Geneva-based agency said 990,761 people have arrived from Africa or the Middle East, with more than 800,000 crossing from Turkey to Greece alone. More than half of those – about 455,000 – were Syrians.</p>
<p>The IOM estimates the one million mark will be reached by Tuesday, more than four times the total of 240,000 crossings by land and sea into Europe last year.</p>
<p>The agency said daily arrivals continue in the thousands despite “ever colder temperatures and dangerous sea conditions”.</p>
<p>The report came as Turkey’s state-run news agency said four Iraqi migrants &#8211; two of them children – had drowned after a boat taking them to Greece sank off the Turkish coast.</p>
<p>Anadolu Agency said the boat was taking eight Iraqi migrants to the Greek island of Kos when it sank shortly after leaving the Turkish resort of Bodrum.</p>
<p>Turkish coastguards rescued the four other migrants.</p>
