22 migrants hoping to reach Europe died off the coast of Greece, survivors told the Greek coastguard on Saturday. 26 others survived the ordeal and were rescued by a European border agency vessel near the island of Crete.
The survivors included a woman and a minor, officials said, adding that those in need of treatment were transferred to hospitals. 21 of the survivors were Bangladeshi citizens, four were from South Sudan and one was a Chadian national.
