ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Two Greek coast guard vessels and a helicopter from the European border agency Frontex were searching Wednesday for a migrant boat whose passengers said was suffering engine problems in the eastern Aegean Sea. Greek authorities were alerted by a phone call to emergency services by one of the boat's passengers, who said there were about 53 people on board and that the vessel was experiencing mechanical problems. The aid group Save the Children says those stranded on the islands include about 3,800 children, and has warned that refugee women and children are living in "demoralizing and unsafe conditions."
