The bodies of the girls were found on a rubber boat, along with dozens of other migrants from Africa, in particular Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana, Sudan and the Gambia.
They were taken aboard an Italian military ship.
In addition, it is reported that among the other migrants who were on the boat there were another 90 women, of whom eight were pregnant. And also more than 50 children.
As previously reported, URA-Inform, migrants, mostly Syrian women and children who were stuck in Greece, put tents opposite the parliament in Athens, in protest at the delay in reuniting with relatives in Germany. The majority of refugees in this regard, said that they started a hunger strike.
