Summary
At least three migrants have died and approximately 25 others are feared missing after their boat sank off the coast of Samos, Greece. The incident occurred in the eastern Aegean Sea, where the coast guard has initiated a search and rescue operation involving multiple vessels and a helicopter.
The boat, believed to have been carrying around 30 migrants, encountered difficulties in rough seas before sinking near the rocky shores of Agios Isidoros. Five survivors have been rescued, including a pregnant woman and a minor, who were taken to a hospital for medical attention. The ongoing search efforts are complicated by strong winds, and authorities are investigating whether any of the missing may have reached the shore independently. This tragic event highlights the ongoing risks faced by migrants attempting to reach Europe from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, often in overcrowded and unseaworthy vessels.
