At least 59 people drowned when a migrant boat sank off the Greek coast, authorities say. More than 100 others have been rescued.
At least 59 people drowned after a migrant boat sank off the Greek coast in the early hours of Wednesday, that country’s Coast Guard said. No one on board the fishing boat was wearing a life jacket, the Coast Guard said. A total of 104 migrants who were traveling on the boat have since been rescued from the water and transferred to the city of Kalamata. It remains unclear how many people were on board the ship when it went under.
Greece has been at the heart of the European migrant crisis, offering a way into the European Union for migrants and refugees coming from the Middle East, Asia and Africa. The number of undocumented people arriving on European shores by sea has skyrocketed this year due to conflict, global inequality and the climate crisis.
