78 migrants dead, dozens feared missing after fishing boat capsizes off Greece

At least 78 people have died and dozens are feared missing off the coast of southern Greece after a fishing boat carrying migrants capsized and sank, authorities said on Wednesday.

A large search and rescue operation was launched following the night-time incident some 45 miles (75km) south-west of the Peloponnese region.

Authorities said 104 people have been rescued so far, including four who were taken to hospital with symptoms of hypothermia. It was unclear how many remained missing after the Greek coast guard reported 78 dead.
