The little boy was just 50 days old.
The baby boy being rescued from the Greek island of Tilos A newborn has been rescued after being stranded with his parents for three days on the Greek island of Tilos, officials have said. Human traffickers abandoned a group of refugees on the shores of the Aegean Sea – including pregnant women and babies – without food or water. The boy, said to be aged just 50 days old, was among the dozens who became trapped in a mountainous area.
‘The locals are trying to cope in the best way possible with the “migrant crisis” in their homeland and to help the suffering, the wounded and the distressed people.’ Local media reported the baby was safe and healthy. It is not clear how many people were part of the group. A man carrying the baby to the inflatable boat Maria also said the baby boy was finally given the name Ionas, likening him to the monk who washed up in Tilos and built the monastery of Agios Panteleimon.
