A girl believed to be five years old died and as many as 13 migrants may be missing at sea off the Greek island of Lesbos Saturday, the Greek coastguard said.
Nikos Lagkadianos, a coastguard spokesman, said 11 people were rescued from the sea between Lesbos and Turkey and one swam ashore in the early hours. The survivors said they thought 13 of their number were missing.
The girl was found unconscious and was declared dead later at hospital, Lagkadianos said.
Twenty-two migrants drowned and 200 more were rescued trying to reach the Greek island of Kos early last week and 34 refugees, almost half of them babies and children, drowned when their boat sank off the small island of Farmakonisi last Sunday, according to Reuters.
