At Least Four Migrants Die After Boat Sinks Near Greek Island of Samos

Greek coast guard launches extensive search and rescue operation following the incident in the eastern Aegean Sea.

A small boat carrying migrants from Turkey sank off the coast of Samos, resulting in the deaths of at least four women.
Five migrants, including a pregnant woman and a minor, were rescued and taken to a hospital for medical checks.
The exact number of people originally on the boat remains unclear, with some survivors possibly reaching the shore independently.
Strong winds have complicated the search and rescue efforts, which involve multiple coast guard vessels and a naval helicopter.
Greece continues to be a major entry point into the European Union for migrants fleeing conflict and poverty in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
