Around 80 migrants were rescued by Greek patrol boats in the Aegean Sea on Aug. 21, 2023. The migrants were coming from Turkey in inflatable dinghies.
Greek patrol boats in the eastern Aegean Sea on Monday rescued nearly 80 migrants trying to crossin inflatable dinghies in two separate incidents, as the number of such dangerous journeys increases.
A coast guard statement said 40 migrants were rescued from a drifting dinghy off the coast of Lesbos island Monday, shortly after another 36 were picked off from another flimsy vessel in the same area. All 76 were taken to a local reception center. The government in Athens has attributed the rise in migrant crossings to better summer sailing weather and smugglers taking advantage of an increase in Aegean small boat traffic during the tourist season.
