Douze migrants ont été retrouvés morts, lundi 9 novembre, dans leur embarcation au large de l'île grecque de Crète, ont annoncé les garde-côtes grecs. Ils avaient fait état un peu plus tôt de huit autres personnes mortes dans une autre embarcation. "Dix-huit survivants se trouvaient sur le bateau" sur lequel ont été retrouvés les 12 morts, au large de la côte sud de la Crète, a précisé le bureau de presse des garde-côtes.

Huit autres personnes en quête d'asile dans l'Union européenne avaient été retrouvées mortes dans cette même zone dans une opération de recherches et de sauvetage entamée samedi. Elle a été compliquée par des conditions météorologiques très difficiles, selon ces mêmes autorités portuaires.

Près de 60 personnes portées disparues depuis mercredi

Vingt-huit personnes, de nationalité soudanaise, ont été secourues et un premier corps retrouvé sur ce bateau, avaient annoncé dimanche les garde-côtes, mais l'opération de remorquage de l'embarcation s'est "révélée absolument impossible et extrêmement dangereuse en raison (...) des vents violents", selon la même source. Dans la nuit de dimanche à lundi, "un navire de sauvetage des garde-côtes a retrouvé l'embarcation à 10 milles nautiques" au sud de la Crète. "Sept corps se trouvaient encore à son bord", ont-ils précisé.
