ACCIDENTE

Cientos de migrantes muertos en un naufragio frente a las costas griegas

By Jordi Bou

June 15, 2023 - Se teme que cientos de personas hayan muerto luego de que un barco pesquero que llevaba migrantes del Norte de África a Italia volcó y se hundió cerca de las costas griegas, uno de los accidentes más letales ocurridos en el Mediterráneo.

The fishing vessel, which was about 25 to 30 metres long, went down about 80km south-west of Pylos on Wednesday morning, according to the Greek coastguard, which said that at least 78 people have died and more than 100 have been rescued.

The death toll is expected to increase, with the UN’s International Organization for Migration tweeting that initial reports suggested up to 400 people were on the boat. Survivors said more than 100 children were in the ship’s hold.

More than 70,000 refugees and migrants have arrived in Europe’s frontline countries this year, with the majority landing in Italy, according to UN data.
