One migrant dies off Lesvos, another missing

The body of one of the two women that went missing after a dinghy carrying migrants boat sank off the northeastern coast of the island of Lesvos on Wednesday morning was recovered later in the day. 

A search and rescue operation by the Hellenic Coast Guard and the European Union border agency Frontex was ongoing in the area late on Wednesday to locate the other woman.

A total of 32 people - 15 men, 14 women and three children - all of Somali origin, were rescued in the morning.

They were transferred to an enclosed area of ​​the port of Mytilene and from there to the quarantine structure at the temporary camp of Kara Tepe.

Among those rescued was a 26-year-old foreign national who had reportedly been skippering the boat.

He was arrested on suspicion of people trafficking.
