Eight migrants, six of them minors, died Monday after a boat sank in the Aegean Sea.

Axar.az reports that, citing AFP, the Greek coastguard said nearly 40 people had been rescued and a search for survivors was ongoing amid strong winds.

The incident occurred north of the island of Samos, a route frequently chosen by people smugglers.

Greece has seen a 25 percent increase this year in the number of people fleeing war and poverty, with a 30 percent increase alone to Rhodes and the south-east Aegean, according to the migration ministry.
