Fifteen
refugees lost their lives when their boats capsized in the waters of
the Aegean Sea.
In the first
tragic incident, six children and one woman were recovered dead, when
a fishing boat, with about 48 people aboard, crashed at midnight on
the rocks in the eastern coasts of Farmakonissi and sank.
The Greek
Coast Guard managed to rescue a girl, while the remaining 40 people
had made it to get out safe.
Soon
afterwards, as it became known, eight bodies were recovered from the
sea region off Kalolimnos.
Vessels of
the Coast Guard continue to search the area, in an effort to track
down any more missing people and 26 people so far have been rescued.
According to survivors, approximately 70-100 people were on board.
