Kythira (Greece) (TIP): Bodies floated amid splintered wreckage in the water off a Greek island on October 6 as the death toll from the sinking of two migrant boats rose to 21, with many missing. The boats went down hundreds of miles apart, in one case prompting a dramatic overnight rescue effort, as residents and firefighters pulled shipwrecked migrants to safety up steep cliffs. The coast guard on the eastern island of Lesbos said 16 bodies of young African women and one young man were recovered there after a dinghy carrying about 40 people sank. – AP
