希腊海岸警卫队周二晚表示,爱琴海东部长岛希俄斯附近一艘载有移民的快艇与海岸警卫队巡逻艇相撞,已造成至少15人死亡。目前,包括巡逻艇、直升机和潜水员在内的搜救行动正在进行中,以寻找可能失踪的人员。
海岸警卫队称,已从海中打捞起14具尸体——其中11名男性、3名女性;另有25名移民(包括约11名儿童)获救并被送往希俄斯岛医院,两名在事故中受伤的海岸警卫队官员也已入院治疗。
海岸警卫队补充称,一名受伤女子后来在医院死亡,使死亡人数增至至少15人。
快艇上的总人数尚不清楚,目前正展开搜救行动,涉及四艘巡逻艇、一架空军直升机和一艘载有潜水员的私人船只,以寻找可能失踪的乘客。
当地新闻网站的视频显示,一名男子裹着毯子从码头停泊的船上被抬上一辆闪着蓝色警灯的海岸警卫队车辆,另有人员搀扶着两名儿童(其中一人一瘸一拐)走向车辆。

海岸警卫队尚未立即公布碰撞的具体原因。
希腊公立医院工会负责人米哈利斯·贾纳科斯表示,希俄斯岛医院的工作人员已全员戒备,以应对突然涌入的伤者,并随时准备接收更多人员。他在希腊Open TV频道上称,部分伤者需要接受手术。
希腊是中东、非洲和亚洲民众逃离冲突和贫困进入欧盟的主要通道。短途但危险的跨爱琴海航行(从土耳其海岸到附近希腊岛屿)是常见路线。然而,希腊当局加强巡逻及被指存在“推回”行为(即未经允许的简易驱逐)后,越境尝试有所减少。
希腊与其他几个欧盟国家正收紧移民监管。去年12月,欧盟启动移民体系改革,包括简化驱逐流程和增加拘留措施。
欧盟成员国长期以来就移民问题存在激烈争议。自十年前欧洲寻求庇护者和移民激增以来,公众讨论已转向,极右翼政党逐渐掌权,欧盟移民政策趋于强硬,申请庇护的人数较历史峰值有所下降。

上个月,联合国移民署警告称,1月地中海中部发生多起致命海难,数百名移民可能失踪或死亡。
国际移民组织(IOM)表示对相关报告“深感关切”,正在核实具体情况。其声明称:“过去10天内,据信有多艘船只涉事,初步信息显示数百人可能失踪或死亡。”
“仅2026年年初几周,就已有数百人被认为失踪,”IOM警告“最终伤亡人数可能高得多”。
IOM强调,地中海中部仍是全球最致命的移民走廊,仅去年就有至少1340人在此丧生。
根据IOM“失踪移民项目”数据,2014年至2025年底,地中海地区已有超过3.3万名移民死亡或失踪。

Greek coast guard ship and migrant speedboat collide, killing at least 15 people
Updated on: February 4, 2026 / 8:04 AM EST / CBS/AP
A collision between a speedboat carrying migrants and a Greek coast guard patrol vessel off the eastern Aegean island of Chios has killed at least 15 people, the coast guard said late Tuesday, while a search and rescue operation involving patrol boats, a helicopter and divers was underway for potentially missing people.
The bodies of 14 people — 11 men and three women — were recovered from the sea, the coast guard said, while another 25 migrants, including about 11 children, were rescued and transported to a hospital on Chios, as were two coast guard officers who were injured in the incident.
One of the injured women later died in hospital, the coast guard added, bringing the total death toll to at least 15.
The total number of people who had been on board the speedboat was not immediately clear, and a search and rescue operation involving four patrol vessels, an air force helicopter and a private boat carrying divers was underway for potentially missing passengers.
Video footage by a local news site showed at least one person being carried in a blanket from a boat moored on the side of a jetty into a waiting coast guard vehicle with blue flashing lights, as others appear to lead two children, one of them limping, toward the car.

The coast guard did not immediately have further information on exactly how the collision occurred.
Michalis Giannakos, the head of Greece’s public hospital workers’ union, said staff at the hospital in Chios were all on alert to handle the sudden influx of injured and were on standby for potentially more people. Speaking on Greece’s Open TV channel, Giannakos said several of the injured required surgery.
Greece is a major entry point into the European Union for people fleeing conflict and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Fatal accidents are a common occurrence. Many undertake the short but often perilous crossing from the Turkish coast to nearby Greek islands in the eastern Aegean. But increased patrols and allegations of pushbacks — summary deportations without allowing for asylum applications — by Greek authorities have reduced crossing attempts.
Greece, along with several other European Union countries, has been tightening its regulations on migration. In December, the European Union was overhauling its migration system, including streamlining deportations and increasing detentions.
There has long been a fierce debate among EU members about migration. Since a surge in asylum-seekers and other migrants to Europe a decade ago, public debate on the issue has shifted and far-right parties have gained political power. EU migration policies have hardened, and the number of asylum-seekers is down from record levels.

Last month, the United Nation’s migration agency warned hundreds of migrants may be missing at sea or feared dead following reports of multiple deadly shipwrecks in the central Mediterranean in January.
The International Organization for Migration said it was “deeply concerned” by the reports, which it was working to verify.
“Several boats are believed to have been involved over the past 10 days, with preliminary information suggesting that hundreds of people may be missing at sea or feared dead,” a statement said.
“In just the first weeks of 2026, hundreds of people are already feared to be missing,” the IOM statement said, warning that “the final toll may be significantly higher.”
The IOM highlighted that the Central Mediterranean remains the deadliest migration corridor in the world, with at least 1,340 people losing their lives there last year alone.
Between 2014 and the end of 2025, more than 33,000 migrants died or went missing in the Mediterranean, according to the IOM’s Missing Migrants Project.
