The Aporia · Greece recovers 12 dead migrants from boat off of Crete, coast guard says

Greece's coast guard recovered the bodies of twelve migrants who died in a boat accident off the island of Crete on Monday morning. Another eighteen survivors were rescued by the coast guard, and dozens more were saved in separate incidents near Crete. Greece has long been a primary entry point for migrants from regions like the Middle East, Africa, and Asia attempting to reach Europe, although arrivals have decreased since 2015-2016 due to increased border patrols.

Story summary

Greek authorities recovered 12 bodies from a boat carrying migrants off the southern coast of Crete on November 9, 2026, while a passing cargo ship rescued 18 survivors from the same vessel. The boat was found about 15 nautical miles (28 km) south of Crete early that morning. No details have been released regarding how the migrants died or their identities.

Additionally, two other boats carrying 47 and 40 people, respectively, were spotted sailing near the island. All rescued individuals are being taken to a port on Crete's southern coast. This incident follows an increase in migrant arrivals from Libya; over 1,700 migrants arrived in Greece from Libya within the first three days of November.

Greece’s migration and asylum minister Thanos Plevris warned that the country is preparing for a potential crisis due to increased arrivals, attributing this surge to a breakdown in cooperation with Libyan authorities. A new reception facility at Athanati on Crete is scheduled to open soon to accommodate more migrants.

Trump to meet Iran war mediator Qatar, no imminent deal seen to end the war CAIRO/ABU DHABI, Nov 9 - US President Donald Trump will meet the prime minister of key mediator Qatar on Monday as efforts to end the Iran war ramp up following last week's midterm elections, though senior US and Gulf officials cast doubt on the chances of an imminent deal. With no victory in sight more than eight months into the conflict he launched alongside Israel on February 28, Trump has played down the likelihood of major warfare restarting soon, but remains unwilling to accept an existing Iranian truce plan. Mutual attacks continue, with the US striking Iran's Qeshm island overnight, according to Iranian state media, and Iran attacking tankers in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz this month while its Yemeni Houthi allies have hit Saudi Arabia.
