Four children and a woman die in migrant shipwreck off Greece
ATHENS, Feb 6 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Four children and a woman died Sunday after a boat carrying around 40 migrants from Turkiye sank off the Greek island of Leros, Greece’s coastguard said.
Three rescue boats and a helicopter were continuing with search operations but were being hampered by strong winds and choppy seas after the migrants’ inflatable boat sank in the Mediterranean.
The teams managed to rescue 41 people, including six children and two adults who were transferred to hospital in Leros, the coastguard said.
