There is one confirmed Pakistani among the deceased. We are unable to verify the exact number of Pakistani nationals who have died or gone missing at this time,” the spokesperson stated in a press release.

Pakistan’s Embassy in Athens maintained communication with the Coast Guard of Chania and the Hellenic Coast Guard, who were directly involved in the search and rescue effort.

Foreign media claimed on December 14 that at least five migrants were killed when a wooden boat transporting them collapsed off the southern Greek island of Gavdos.
