The Foreign Office has confirmed that 47 Pakistanis were among those rescued in the recent boat tragedy off the coast of Greece. The incident occurred near a southern Greek island, involving a vessel carrying migrants attempting to enter Europe illegally.
A Foreign Office spokesperson shared that preliminary reports have confirmed the death of one Pakistani national. However, the exact number of missing and deceased Pakistani citizens has yet to be definitively determined.
The Pakistani embassy in Athens is in ongoing contact with local authorities to gather more information and provide assistance. Embassy staff have already arrived at the site to meet with the rescued Pakistanis and offer necessary support.
The spokesperson reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to helping its citizens abroad in times of crisis and highlighted the importance of coordinated efforts to prevent such tragic incidents.
