Read our privacy policy Rescuers searched the Mediterranean Sea near Greece’s southernmost island Thursday for two people reported missing when a boat carrying 100 migrants sank the previous day, Greece’s Coast Guard said. The Coast Guard said Thursday that the survivors — 85 men, two women and 10 minors — were taken to the island of Crete, where one woman was hospitalized. Greece lies on a popular route into the European Union for people fleeing war and poverty in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, with tens of thousands heading to Greek islands, usually in smuggling boats from the nearby Turkish coast, or making the longer and more treacherous journey across the Mediterranean from north Africa.
