Last month eight people, including six children, were recovered after a migrant boat sank off the Greek island of Samos.

The bodies of at least eight people, including six children, have been recovered after a migrant boat sank off the Greek island of Samos, the coastguard has said.

Samos is just off the Turkish coast and has long been a regular destination for migrants trying to reach European soil.

Just a few weeks ago, the then Home Secretary Suella Braverman - before being sacked - visited the Greek island of Samos, and said the UK had "a lot to learn" from the country on dealing with illegal immigration.

In a report citing testimonies of its patients on the islands of Lesbos and Samos, MSF said asylum-seekers faced "physical violence, including being beaten, handcuffed, strip-searched, having their possessions confiscated, and forcibly sent back to sea."
