The sinking of a migrant boat off the coast of Greece may have been the deadliest of modern times.
An undetermined amount of people numbering in the hundreds remained missing and were likely killed when the migrant vessel sank earlier this week.
"We don’t have all information yet on what has happened but it seems like this is the worst ever tragedy we’ve seen in the Mediterranean," EU Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson told a press conference in Brussels on Friday.
The migrant boat was traveling from Tobruk, Libya, to Italy when it capsized in the ocean off the coast of Greece.
