Increasing number of migrant rescues in Greece: A risky trip across the Mediterranean Sea.

Many migrants have been rescued from unsafe boats in Greece recently. Most of them were found near the south of Greece, which seems to be a new route used by people smugglers.

A large ship rescued 29 people from a boat far south of Crete. Another ship rescued 45 more people south of Gavdos.

The coast guard chased a speedboat carrying migrants until it crashed on a beach. They found 31 people, including children, and arrested the driver.

Another 68 people were found in two separate groups on Crete and Gavdos. These people said they travelled from Libya to Greece by boat.

Greece has always been a common entry point into Europe for migrants. Many are now choosing to travel from Libya to Greece, which is a dangerous journey.
