One dead as migrant boat that left Turkey capsizes off Samos

A migrant boat departing from Turkey capsized near the Greek island of Samos, resulting in one death and multiple rescues. Authorities reported that 35 individuals were saved in a coordinated effort involving air, sea, and land resources. Fourteen migrants reached safety on the rocks, while 21 others were in the water before being rescued. The deceased was identified as a 23-year-old man whose body was recovered by divers. Nationalities of those involved were not disclosed, but all are believed to have paid smugglers to cross from Turkey. This incident highlights ongoing challenges related to illegal migration routes into Greece, which have seen increased enforcement efforts from both Greek and Turkish authorities, reducing the popularity of this particular crossing route.
