Two separate boat sinkings in the eastern Aegean Sea have claimed the lives of at least 44 refugees, 20 of them children. One went down early this morning within swimming distance of the tiny Greek island of Farmakonissi and dozens managed to reach land.
A second vessel sank in what the Turkish coast guard described as
‘rough weather’, off the island of Kalolimnos, also Greek but only ten kilometers from the Turkish mainland. More than 20 people were rescued,
and more than 30 bodies were recovered. The number of missing is still
being verified.
