At least seven people have died, and 23 others were rescued after a boat capsized off the coast of Greece. The vessel, believed to be carrying migrants, encountered trouble in rough waters, leading to the tragic incident.
Greek authorities launched a rescue operation after receiving distress signals. Coast guard officials managed to pull several survivors from the sea, while search efforts continue for any missing passengers. The nationalities of the victims have not yet been confirmed.
Greece remains a key transit route for migrants attempting to reach Europe. Many undertake dangerous journeys across the Mediterranean in overcrowded and unsafe boats. This latest incident highlights the ongoing risks faced by migrants seeking a better life.
Officials have reiterated calls for stronger measures to prevent such tragedies. Human rights groups are urging governments to improve rescue efforts and provide safer migration alternatives.
