The bodies of four women have been recovered after a boat carrying an unknown number of migrants sank off the coast of Samos on Monday.

A high-speed boat chase involving migrants near the Greek island of Samos early Tuesday morning resulted in the rescue of 30 people but also the tragic loss of one life.

The rescue of little “Jonah”, the 50-day-old refugee boy who was rescued by coastguards in Tilos, quickly became known on the internet.

The infant was trapped for three days in a steep area, with his parents using seawater to make milk for him. The infant was named Jonah, in reference to the monk who came out to Tilos and founded the monastery of St. Panteleimon.
