Two rescue operations are underway for migrants crammed on sailing boats, one far off the coast of a western Greek island and the other off the coast of a Cycladic island, the coast guard says
Two rescue operations were underway Wednesday for migrants crammed on board sailing boats, one far off the coast of a western Greek island and the other off the coast of a Cycladic island near the Greek capital, the coast guard said.
It was not immediately clear how many people were on board, the coast guard said. Two private boats and one coast guard patrol vehicle on land were in the area, while another three coast guard patrol boats were heading to the location, authorities said. More than 15,600 people have reached Greece by land and sea so far this year, according to the latest United Nations figures. Nearly 12,000 of them arrived by sea with 5,000 reaching Lesbos alone.
