A woman and two children drowned when an inflatable
dinghy carrying 63 migrants hit rocks off the Greek island of Lesbos on Sunday,
Greek authorities said.
Seven people were still missing but the rest managed
to reach land safely, a coastguard spokeswoman said. Their nationalities were
not immediately clear.
Dozens of refugees including many children have died
trying to make the short but perilous journey from Turkey to Greece's outlying
islands in recent months, often in overcrowded inflatables.
