Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has instructed the Egyptian embassy in Athens to step up coordination with Greek authorities, Ahram Online reported on Tuesday. The ministry said 14 Egyptians were among the 34 migrants who died when a boat sank en route to Greece on 7 December. The move aims to support survivors and expedite the repatriation of the victims’ bodies once legal procedures are completed. The ministry added that the embassy has been in contact with the families of those who died to arrange the transfer of the remains back home.
