Hundreds of Pakistani migrants feared dead after boat sinks off Greece

An estimated 350 Pakistanis were on board an overcrowded fishing boat carrying migrants that sank off Greece last week, and many remain missing and may have died in one of the deadliest incidents in the central Mediterranean Sea. Only 104 people, including 12 Pakistanis, were rescued and 82 bodies have been recovered. The government has launched a crackdown on the human traffickers who arranged travel for the Pakistanis on the fishing boat, many of whom were seeking jobs in Europe. Officials are currently collecting DNA samples from people who say their relatives were on the vessel to help in the identification of the bodies.
