Greece’s coast guard says 74 migrants have been found in a wooden boat on the Mediterranean Sea

Dozens of migrants found in a wooden boat in the Mediterranean Sea between northern Africa and southern Europe have been transported to the Greek island of Crete, Greece’s coast guard said Monday. Crete has recently seen a rise in migrant arrivals from Libya, which Greece’s government promised Monday to address with more funding and extra coast guard personnel.
The boat with 74 people on board was found late Sunday 25 nautical miles (46 kilometers, 29 miles) south of the small Greek island of Gavdos on Sunday night, the coast guard said, adding that a patrol boat transported the 73 men and one woman to Crete. It was not immediately clear where or when the boat had launched or what countries the passengers were from. No injuries or illnesses were reported among them. They were taken to a temporary shelter.
Greece is a major entry point into the European Union for people fleeing conflict and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
