What happened

Greek authorities recovered 12 bodies from a migrant boat south of Crete early Monday and rescued 18 survivors, the coast guard said.

One of four survivors taken to hospital, including a toddler, later died there, according to Cyprus Mail.

Two other boats carrying about 47 and 40 people were found south of the island and rescued by Frontex, the EU border agency.

The UN refugee agency says more than 37,000 migrants have reached Greece so far in 2026, according to The Hindu.

“We found them (the survivors) shivering from the cold”
