Search continues for missing child after migrant boat sinks at sea.

A small boat carrying migrants sank near Greece, leaving many people missing. The coast guard has been searching for survivors, but they have not found everyone yet.

Survivors told the coast guard that there were 31 people on the boat. The boat was very small and was already sinking when the coast guard found it.

All the people on the boat were from Afghanistan, and they were hoping to reach Greece for a better life. One survivor was arrested because they think he was in charge of the boat.

Sadly, this is not the first time something like this has happened. Many migrants try to reach Greece by boat, but the journey is dangerous, and boats often sink.

Greece is a common place for migrants to try to enter Europe. They are often fleeing from dangerous situations and looking for a safe place to live.
