A boat carrying migrants has run aground off the Greek island of Rhodes and at least three people have drowned, Reuters reports.
A coast guard official said that a search-and-rescue operation has recovered three bodies, that of a man, a woman and a child.
Around 80 people have been rescued with 23 taken to hospital, according to another Greek coast guard official quoted by Reuters.
Video from the scene of the wreck shows a large, double-masted boat packed full of people just feet away from the shores of Rhodes. The vessel is rocking wildly while passengers jump into the sea and swim towards land.
