ATHENS, Greece -- Greek authorities said more than 170 migrants have been picked up from rickety boats in the past three days with most found off the southern tip of the country in a route that appears to be increasingly used by traffickers.Greece’s coast guard said Wednesday, January 22, 2025, that a passing Philippines-flagged tanker had rescued 29 people found on a boat 65 nautical miles south of the southern island of Crete.
A foot patrol later located a total of 31 people, including seven children and four women, while authorities arrested a 37-year-old Moldovan national as the alleged driver.Another 68 people were located in two separate cases in Crete and Gavdos Monday: 19 men and one boy found just having disembarked from on a wooden boat on the southern coast of Crete, and another 48 people, all men, found on Gavdos.
