Samos: A small boat carrying migrants sank off the coast of the Greek island of Samos, resulting in the tragic death of eight people, including children, according to the Greek coast guard. Authorities confirmed that 36 individuals were rescued, with search and rescue operations ongoing near the northern part of the island. According to Qatar News Agency, this incident follows a similar tragedy last month when a boat carrying migrants capsized near the Greek island of Kos in the Aegean Sea, claiming the lives of four people, including two women and two children. Greek waters have witnessed numerous migrant boat sinkings as individuals seek to cross into European Union countries or the United Kingdom, often under perilous conditions. The Greek coast guard continues efforts to prevent such tragedies and respond swiftly to maritime emergencies involving migrant vessels.
