Five Somali Migrants Die as Rubber Boat Sinks off Greek Island

Five Somalis were among nine migrants who died when the rubber boat they were in sank off a Greek island.

The migrants died in an incident that took place on March 5.

They had boarded the rubber boat in hope of traveling to Greece to embark on their pursuit of a better life.

Their deaths occurred just off Greece’s Lebos Island.

The migrants died a few weeks after another batch of five Somali nationals were discovered frozen to death along the Greece-Turkey border.
