Greek Police Rescue Seven Irregular Migrants Trapped on Islet in Evros

A police and emergency rescue unit (EMAK) succeeded in extricating seven irregular migrants from an islet in the Evros River in northern Greece where they had been abandoned by a migrant trafficker. Authorities used two boats to transport the migrants on the shore, where they were offered first aid and were given dry clothes and food. As it was revealed, the unknown trafficker abandoned them on the islet in the Orestiada region on Sunday, as they were trying to cross the border to Greece. The men were quickly spotted and a rescue operation was set up to rescue them. (source: ana-mpa)
