Graphic: 11 die after boat carrying over 240 refugees sinks while arriving the island of Lesbos


At least 11 people, mostly children, have drowned after a refugee boat carrying more than 240 migrants capsized near the island of Lesbos on Wednesday, October 28. More than 200 were rescued, three bodies recovered and 38 people are believed to be still missing. 
 
The tragedy started when the upper deck of an over packed fishing boat collapsed on top of those packed below. Following the collapse, a second boat accidentally rammed the boat carrying the refugees, sending hundreds into the Aegean sea.
