Families of missing in Greece migrant boat disaster plead for recovery of bodies
- Since Matloob Hussain from Pakistan went missing during a deadly shipwreck off Greece last month, his brother Adil has left the door of his Athens home open in the hope he appears. Matloob, 43, is among hundreds of migrants from Pakistan, Syria and Egypt who are presumed dead after their overcrowded fishing trawler, that set sail from Libya for Italy, sank off the coast of Pylos in international waters on June 14. Greek government officials said last month that the chances of retrieving the vessel were slim due to the depth - around 5,000 metres - to which it sank.
