At least 15 people, including a child, have drowned when an inflatable boat carrying refugees and migrants sank off Greece's Lesbos island. Eight bodies were recovered in Greek territory and another seven in Turkish waters, a Greek coastguard official said. The boat is believed to have set sail from Turkey late on Sunday. Citing survivors, the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR said 25 people were on board. Two survivors, one of whom is pregnant, were from Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the agency said. Though fewer than 10 nautical miles separate Lesbos from Turkish shores, hundreds of people have drowned trying to make the crossing since the refugee crisis began in 2015. In that year, Lesbos was the main gateway into the European Union for nearly a million Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans. A deal in March 2016 between the EU and Ankara has all but closed the route down and just over 4,800 refugees and migrants have crossed to Greece from Turkey this year, according to UNHCR data. An average of 20 arrive on Greek islands each day. At least 173,000 people, mostly Syrians, landed in Greece in 2016. The number of refugees and migrants in Greece has swelled to about 62,000 in the last year, about 13,000 of whom are in camps on five eastern Aegean islands waiting for their asylum applications to be processed. Violence has broken out in overcrowded camps on several occasions, as have protests against asylum delays. Twelve Syrian Kurds living in Lesbos's Moria camp for months began a hunger strike on Friday, the Athens News Agency reported.

inflatable boat omg.....people smugglers once again...

its time they made war on people smugglers.

Youre right, its not news.

If africans dying was news, wed have thousand page papers every day with headlines like "baby ngotho dies from malaria" and "child does from diarrhoea by drinking dirty water". 

There are thousands of these cases every day, so why do we care if 15 able bodied men die while attempting to invade a foreign nation?

Theyre just pushing their narrative, and Im tired of it.
