108 Migrants Rescued off Gavdos

Coast guard authorities, coordinated by the EKSED, rescued 108 migrants from a wooden boat located in the sea area south of Gavdos. The migrants were picked up by a passing Liberian-flagged vessel and transported to the port of Paleochora. The operation took place in the early hours of the morning and was successful, ensuring the safety of those rescued. The exact nationality of the migrants is not mentioned in the source, but the rescue highlights the continued flow of migration and refugee flows to Europe via the sea route.
