Death toll of Crete migrants climbs to 320
The Greek coastguard said on Saturday that the migrants who survived had told authorities their boat set sail from Egypt with about 350 people. On Friday, Greek authorities said 340 people were rescued after their boat sank and nine bodies had been recovered about 75 nautical miles off southern Crete. But survivors taken to the port of Augusta, Italy, who were interviewed by IOM staff, reported that the vessel was carrying nearly twice the presumed number of passengers. "We learned from survivors in Italy, in Augusta, that 648 or 650 men, women and children were on that ship. We heard both numbers from different survivors who took pains to explain that the smugglers made a count twice a day before the departure," IOM spokesman Joel Millman told a briefing. "We **w fear some 320 migrants and refugees remain missing based on testimony received from survivors," IOM said. At least 10 bodies have been found, Millman said. The exact number of survivors was **t clear but appeared to be over 300.Some 206,400 migrants and refugees have crossed the Mediterranean this year, according to IOM. So far 2,809 deaths have been recorded, against 1,838 during the period last year. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Death toll of Crete migrants climbs to 320 || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
