A twomonthold baby was found dead in the early hours of Friday after a migrant boat capsized off the coast of Lesvos, Greece, a coroner told AFP on Saturday.
The minor was taken to the hospital, where his death was certified, coroner Theodoros Nousias said.
The sinking happened when the dinghy mostly carrying African migrants crashed into rocks off the coast in the Fara area, sources at the migrant reception center told AFP. 34 people were saved alive in the rescue operation. Two of them suffered minor injuries.
The Hellenic Coast Guard recorded 1,500 people rescued in the first eight months of this year, compared to fewer than 600 last year.3
