Two survivors of a deadly shipwreck describe their ordeal to Greek authorities

Excerpts from the depositions of two survivors reveal the harrowing conditions faced by migrants aboard the overcrowded boat that sank off southwestern Greece. The survivors testified that the passengers ran out of food and water hours before the shipwreck, and only a few crew members could move freely on the boat. The captain eventually called for help, but the trawler capsized when the Greek coast guard arrived.
