Tragedy Strikes as Migrant Boat Sinks off Greek Coast, Leaving Dozens Dead and Missing
At least 78 migrants died and dozens are missing after a fishing boat carrying migrants capsized and sank off the coast of Greece. The boat is believed to have sailed from the Tobruk area in eastern Libya. The Italian coast guard first alerted Greek authorities and the European Union border protection agency, Frontex, about the approaching vessel on Tuesday. The Greek coast guard said 78 bodies have been recovered so far. A vast search-and-rescue operation is underway.
