Survivors and activist groups have accused Greek authorities of complicity in Wednesday's avoidable disaster.
At least 79 migrants drowned early on Wednesday and hundreds more were feared dead or missing after their overloaded boat capsized and sank in open seas off Greece, in one of Europe's deadliest shipping disasters.
Another hundred have been rescued but many remain unaccounted for as a large-scale search and rescue operation continues.
Multiple agencies responded, police said, and surrounding streets were closed to allow rescuers better access, police said.
Search for more bodies underway.
