Three Migrants Drown, Greek Coastguard Rescues 242 Others as Boat Sinks

Description

At least three migrants drowned 242 rescued by the Greek coastguard when their wooden boat sank north of the island of Lesbos. A Spokeswoman for the Coast Guard said "We do not have a picture of how many people may be missing yet." Lesbos is less than 10 kilometers from the Turkish coast in the north Aegean Sea. More than half a million refugees and migrants have entered Greece through its outlying islands this year. Thousands of migrants are seeking asylum in Europe every day in what has become the biggest humanitarian crisis on the continent in decades.
