22 Migrants Die at Sea
At least 22 people died off Crete, Greece. They had been at sea for six days.
The boat departed from Libya. Bad weather and no food or water made things worse.
Survivors said people smugglers threw bodies overboard. Two Sudanese men must appear in court in Crete.
They are accused of running the smuggling operation linked to these deaths. Greek leaders are looking into what happened.
Klear Note — Migrants often travel by boat from Libya to Europe seeking safety. Many boats are overcrowded and unsafe. Greece is a common arrival point for these journeys.
