Boat with migrants flips over near Rhodes island.

A speedboat carrying migrants capsized near Rhodes, Greece. The boat was trying to avoid a patrol vessel and sadly, eight people died.

Eighteen Afghan migrants, including men, women, and children, were rescued. The coast guard is still searching for anyone else who might be in the water.

Some rescued migrants are in the hospital, and one person is very sick. The police believe two Turkish citizens were responsible for smuggling the migrants.

This is the second tragic event involving migrants in Greek waters recently. Last week, another boat sank near Crete, and many people are still missing.

Greece is expecting a lot of migrants this year, with many coming from Syria. People from Afghanistan, Egypt, Eritrea, and Palestine are also making the dangerous journey.
