Migrants Killed Greece

Greek rescuers on Thursday scoured the Ionian Sea for survivors a day after a fishing boat overloaded with migrants capsized and sank, killing at least 78 people, as police arrested nine suspected people smugglers.

Three migrants were found dead Tuesday on a railway track in northern Greece, apparently killed by a train whilst asleep, local police said.

Nineteen people, including children, died on Sunday when a vehicle carrying migrants reportedly heading for EU member Greece plunged off the highway into a waterway in western Turkey.

Eleven people died in northern Greece early Saturday after a car thought to be carrying migrants crashed head-on with a truck and burst into flames, police said.

Five migrants were killed today when their boat sank in the Aegean Sea while trying to cross from Turkey's western coast to EU member Greece, reports said.

Six Syrian migrants were killed and dozens more rescued today when their overloaded boat capsized off Turkey's Aegean coast while on its way to Greece, the Dogan news agency reported.

Greece's coastguard on Tuesday said it helped rescue 24 migrants in the Aegean a day after a yacht bringing scores of migrants from Turkey capsized, killing at least 22 people.
