Relatives of missing boat drama travel to Greece: “She had paid 5,000 dollars to smugglers. And we all know what happened now”

From the Netherlands, Germany and Cyprus, the first family members of people who were on board the migrant boat that sank in the Mediterranean Sea in Greece on Wednesday have arrived in Greece in search of their loved ones. Between hope and fear, they are taken care of in the Greek coastal city of Kalamata, where the survivors of the shipwreck have been taken. People in countries of origin are also diligently looking for information about family members who boarded the overcrowded fishing boat in Libya. “Those smugglers would only allow 500 people on the ship and now we hear that there were 750 people on board. How could they do that?”
