Tragedy Strikes Migrants Again Near Lesbos

Four migrants died after their boat sank near Lesbos, Greece. Seven were rescued, while the search continues. This marks the second tragic incident this month. Migrant crossings, diminished since the 2015-16 crisis, have seen a resurgence, prompting Greece to enforce stricter migration policies.

A tragic incident occurred off the Greek island of Lesbos, where a boat carrying migrants capsized, leading to the deaths of four individuals. Greece's coastguard reported the recovery of four bodies and the rescue of seven people, with ongoing search efforts to determine if more passengers were on board.

This unfortunate event is the second of its kind in October in the vicinity of Lesbos, located near the Turkish coast. Migrant flows have resurged in recent times despite the decline since the 2015-16 migration crisis that saw over a million people fleeing conflict and poverty.

As arrivals increase, particularly via Libya through the islands of Crete and Gavdos, Greece has responded by intensifying its migration regulations. The ongoing migrant situation demands attention and policies to ensure safety and manage the growing numbers.
