At least 78 dead after boat carrying refugees sinks off Greece

Al Jazeera  

A fishing boat crammed with migrants and refugees trying to reach Europe capsized and sank off the coast of Greece on Wednesday. It remains unclear how many people were missing, but some initial reports suggested hundreds may have been on board when the boat went down far from shore. Authorities said 104 people were rescued after the sinking in international waters about 75km southwest of Greece’s southern Peloponnese peninsula. The route from North Africa to Italy through the central Mediterranean is the deadliest in the world, according to United Nations migration agency the International Organization for Migration, which has recorded more than 21,000 deaths and disappearances there since 2014.
