E-mail(Reuters) - Greece has recovered the bodies of four migrants - three men and a woman - after a boat sank off the island of Rhodes in the Aegean Sea, the country's coastguard said on Wednesday.
Another 25 people have been located on land by the Greek police, with a search-and-rescue operation ongoing, it added.
Greece has been a favoured gateway to the European Union for migrants and refugees from the Middle East, Africa and Asia since 2015 when nearly 1 million people landed on its islands.
