"A rescue operation with a coastguard vessel is underway, and a team of rescuers and divers is expected later today," she said. In early December, 17 people were found dead after their boat sank off Crete and 15 others were reported missing. According to the UN refugee agency 107 people died or went missing in 2025 off the Greek coast. The International Organisation for Migration says about 33,000 migrants have died or gone missing in the Mediterranean since 2014.
