At Least 79 Dead After Boat Capsizes in Greece

Off the coast of southern Greece. At least 79 people died after the boat they were on capsized. This happened near the Pelo Pono region. Responders say this was a fishing boat and that most people on board were migrants. So far, more than 100 people have been rescued, but that's only a tiny fraction of the 750. Some believe may have been on board. Mediterranean smugglers commonly try to avoid local coast guard patrols by using large boats to transport migrants through the international waters off the coast of Greece. This is a developing story. We're going to continue following it.
