At Least 59 Migrants Dead in 2023's Deadliest Shipwreck Off Greek Coast
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

At least 59 migrants drowned earlier today after their boat capsized off
the Greek coast. Over 100 people were rescued, though it's not clear how
many passengers were on the Italy-bound vessel before it sank. It's the
deadliest shipwreck off the Greek coast this year.

In related news, the International Organization for Migration says it
recorded nearly 3,800 deaths in 2022 along land and sea routes in the
Middle East and North Africa region, an 11% jump from the previous year.
