aegeanboatreport 22 DEAD AFTER 6 DAYS ADRIFT – ANOTHER TRAGEDY SOUTH OF CRETE In the early hours of 27.03.2026, 26 people were rescued south of Crete, near Kali Limenes, after drifting at sea for six days. According to survivor testimonies, the boat had departed from Tobruk, Libya on March 21, carrying 48 people. Only 26 survived. 22 people are reported dead. Survivors describe a journey without food or water, lost at sea, exposed to the elements, fighting to stay alive as conditions rapidly deteriorated. Those who died during the journey were reportedly thrown into the sea. Two young men, aged 19 and 22, have been arrested by Greek authorities, accused of smuggling, facilitation and manslaughter. Once again, responsibility is placed on those at the very bottom - people who were on the same boat, in the same conditions, facing the same risk of death. At the same time, the system that forces people onto these deadly routes remains untouched.
