Six children drowned in a recent shipwreck off Samos, with 36 survivors rescued as Greece grapples with the ongoing migrant crisis and perilous sea journeys.
Authorities were alerted to the Samos incident by a nongovernmental organization; it’s estimated about 50 people were on board the vessel, with ongoing search efforts.
Despite a decrease in migrant arrivals, the situation remains dire as Greece faced a surge in 2024, with more than 54,000 arrivals, majority by sea.
Tragic outcomes abound as Greece continues to struggle with controlling human trafficking networks, alongside the rising number of migrant deaths due to dangerous maritime crossings.
