At least 79 people have died off the coast of southern Greece after a fishing boat allegedly carrying hundreds of migrants capsized and sank, authorities said Wednesday.
A large search and rescue operation was launched in the area around the shipwreck which is the deadliest off Greece this year.
"So far 104 survivors were brought to shore while 32 bodies [now 79] were recovered. Search and rescue efforts continue and we fear more lives were lost.
