Small boat carrying migrants located off Aegean Sea islet

A small boat carrying 30 migrants, including four children, was discovered off the Aegean Sea islet of Farmakonissi by Greek Coast Guard authorities. The group, consisting of 19 men, seven women, and four children, was rescued and brought to the port of Lakki on the island of Leros. All are believed to have departed from the Turkish coast after paying smugglers for passage to Greece. Migrants typically come from the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa, seeking entry into Europe. While arrivals from Turkey have decreased due to improved bilateral cooperation, there has been a rise in crossings from North Africa via Libya to Crete. Over 23,000 people have arrived in Greece this year, with more than half landing on Crete and fewer than 100 arriving on Leros.
