Boat drowns off Greece, 4 kids missing

The coastguard located and rescued 24 people from the vessel in the eastern Aegean Sea

Athens: Four children are missing after a dinghy carrying migrants capsized off the Greek island of Samos on Saturday.

The coastguard located and rescued 24 people from the vessel in the eastern Aegean Sea early on Saturday. But they said five people were missing, four of them children, and a search and rescue effort is under way.

This incident comes more than a week after international opinion was appalled by the bleak image of Aylan. The boy had drowned along with his mother and brother when their boat capsized on a short run from Turkey to the Greek island of Kos hoping for a life in Europe.
