A survivors receives first aid after a rescue operation at the port in Kalamata town, about 240 kilometers southwest of Athens on Wednesday, June 14, 2023. Authorities say at least 70 people have died and dozens are feared missing off the coast of southern Greece after a fishing boat carrying migrants capsized and sank.
Greece declared three days of mourning and politicians suspended campaigning for a general election on June 25. A Supreme Court prosecutor ordered an investigation into the circumstances of the deaths. “The chances of finding are minimal,” retired Greek coast guard admiral Nikos Spanos told state-run ERT television.
“We are witnessing one of the biggest tragedies in the Mediterranean, and the numbers announced by the authorities are devastating,” said Gianluca Rocco, head of the Greek section of IOM, the U.N. migration agency.
