Greece boat disaster: Brothers’ tearful reunion through gates

An 18-year-old man named Mohammad, who was among the survivors of a capsized fishing boat in Greece, has tearfully reunited with his brother.

His brother, Fadi, travelled from the Netherlands, and embraced him through the gates at the port in Kalamata, where survivors of the deadly shipwreck were being held and cared for in a warehouse.

Fadi briefly spoke to reporters where the reunion took place and choked back tears, he told them that Mohammad had been in Libya for two years.

At least 78 people have already been confirmed dead in the disaster, but up to 750 could still be missing at sea. The BBC has been told that as many as 100 children may have been on board.
