JUST IN: Hundreds of Pakistanis Dead as Migrant Boat Capsizes in Greece
A boat carrying hundreds of Pakistani migrants capsized off the coast of Greece on Monday, killing an estimated 200 people. The survivors were rescued by Greek authorities and taken to a nearby island.
According to reports, the boat was carrying about 300 people when it capsized. Many of the passengers were women and children. The exact number of dead and injured is still unknown, but it is believed to be the deadliest migrant shipwreck in recent years.
The Greek government has condemned the incident and vowed to investigate the cause of the accident. The European Union has also expressed its condolences to the families of the victims.
More so, the sinking of the migrant boat is a reminder of the dangers faced by people who attempt to cross the Mediterranean Sea in search of a better life. Thousands of people have died trying to make the crossing in recent years.
The Greek government has been criticized for its handling of the migrant crisis. The country has been overwhelmed by the number of people arriving on its shores, and it has struggled to provide adequate housing and food for the refugees.
The European Union has also been criticized for its response to the migrant crisis. The bloc has been slow to provide funding to help Greece cope with the influx of refugees, and it has been divided over how to deal with the issue.
The sinking of the migrant boat is a tragedy that should serve as a wake-up call to the European Union. The bloc needs to do more to help Greece and other countries that are struggling to cope with the migrant crisis.
