Syrian family the victims of migrants boat tragedy
A family of Syrian refugees from Aleppo were the victims of the migrants boat the capsized on Tuesday off the coasts of Mytilene.
The father, the mother and their two children aged four and six were drowned while six other people that were on board the dinghy were rescued.
Coast Guard identified the bodies after locating a floating plastic bag containing the family-members documents.
Moreover, the increased flow of migrants and refugees to Greek islands in the last days raised concern to the Greek authorities. Two boats with 55 migrants arrived on Sunday, 79 people reached Lesvos coasts on Wednesday while a dinghy with 40 refugees on board arrived early Thursday.
The same sources said that the refugees and migrants flow to Samos and Chios remained at low levels and authorities attribute it to the fact that the presence of thousands of visitors, particularly Turkish nationals at Cesme and Kusadasi due to the Ramazan Bayarami prevented traffickers activity.
