Greek boat catastrophe survivors claim a coastguard rope caused the boat to capsize.
Survivors of a boat disaster in Greece have given accounts of how traffickers crammed them into a fishing trawler and then how the Greek coastguard may have accidentally caused the boat to capsize. The survivors say that the trawler was overloaded with people and had no food or water. They also say that the traffickers took away their belongings before they boarded the boat.
The survivors say that the Greek coastguard came to the boat and attached a rope to it. They say that the coastguard then started to pull the boat, which caused it to capsize. The Greek coastguard has denied that it caused the boat to capsize. However, the survivors' accounts have raised questions about the coastguard's actions.
The boat disaster is the latest in a series of tragedies involving migrants trying to reach Europe. In the first five months of 2023, more than 50,000 migrants have attempted to cross the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa. The way the European Union handled the migrant problem has drawn criticism. The EU has been accused of not doing enough to help the migrants and of not doing enough to stop the traffickers.
The boat disaster near Greece is a reminder of the dangers that migrants face when they try to reach Europe. It is also a reminder of the need for the EU to do more to help the migrants and to stop the traffickers.
