Deadly Human Smuggling Operation Off Greek Coast Leaves Hundreds Feared Dead

• Up to 39 people on a dinghy en route to Spain's Canary Islands have drowned
• A ship carrying migrants sank in the Ionian Sea, resulting in at least 81 deaths and up to 500 people still missing.
• Court hearing for nine Egyptian men accused of migrant smuggling postponed
• Three more bodies have been recovered from the waters near where a migrant boat sank last week, bringing the official death toll to 81.
• Greek officials did not intervene in the sinking of a fishing boat carrying smuggled migrants because the smugglers did not want them to and intervening would have been dangerous.
