Smugglers 'deliberately holed migrant boat'

A man who survived after a boat crowded with refugees and migrants from Iraq and Syria, sank near the Greek island of Farmakonisi has told the BBC he believes the smugglers deliberately holed the boat when they were just 300 metres from the shore.

At least 34 people died, almost half of them children.

The man, Jay, told the BBC's Richard Galpin, the smugglers were Syrian and had been identified and arrested by the authorities in Leros where the survivors were taken.
