At least 17 people have died and another 15 people are missing after a migrant boat sank off the Greek island of Lesbos on Wednesday night. The Greek coastguard said the dinghy had left the Turkish coast carrying 40 people in very high winds. Elsewhere in Greece dozens of migrants were rescued when their boat hit rocks near the southern island of Kythira. Coastguard video showed a group of people trapped beneath a cliff as rescuers pulled them to safety. Both boats went down within hours of each other on Wednesday night and early on Thursday, hundreds of kilometres apart. Volunteers joined rescue officials at the top of the cliff face on Kythira, an island off the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. The migrant boat broke up close to the island’s eastern harbour at Diakofti in winds of up to 70km/h (45mph) and according to Greek reports one of those on board raised the alarm when it got into trouble.(BBC)…[+]
