90 migrants rescued from a stranded sailboat in Greece as the number of arrivals rises
- Greek authorities have rescued 90 migrants from a stranded sailboat near the Aegean Sea island of Amorgos, as the number of arrivals in Greece has increased in recent weeks.
- The migrants were taken to the island of Leros for identification and processing after a rescue operation involving patrol boats and civilian vessels.
- Greek officials attribute the rise in arrivals to ongoing conflicts in Africa and a black market industry in Turkey that produces low-quality inflatable boats. The government maintains its policy of intercepting boats at sea, despite criticism from human rights groups about illegal deportations.
