Default Greece :Another 500 Drown : Illegal Migrants as boat capsizes

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65901005


[At least 78 migrants have drowned
and more than 100 have been rescued
after their fishing vessel capsized off
the coast of southern Greece.

The shipwreck is the deadliest off Greece this year.

It is unclear how many people were on the boat
when it sank about 50 miles (80 km)
south-west of Pylos.
But Greek officials and the International Organization
for Migration (IOM) say that hundreds
of people could have been on board.
Greece's coastguard said the boat
was spotted in international waters
late on Tuesday by an aircraft belonging
to EU border agency Frontex.

The coastguard said that the
passengers "refused any help"

and that none on board were
wearing life jackets.]



tragic.
