    Aegean Sea rescues: Greek authorities save 150 migrants, shed light on ongoing struggle

    Aegean Sea rescues: Greek authorities save 150 migrants, shed light on ongoing struggle

    In a dramatic display of humanitarian efforts, Greek authorities have rescued over 150 migrants, including several children, who were attempting to cross the perilous waters of the Aegean Sea from Turkey to the eastern Aegean Sea islands. The rescues underline the ongoing struggle faced by migrants seeking refuge in the European Union, particularly in Greece.

    The Greek Coast Guard, on September 1, confirmed that a total of 101 people were rescued from small boats off the island of Lesbos in three separate instances throughout the day. Additionally, another 53 individuals were found aboard two vessels off the island of Samos. All those rescued have been taken to reception centers designed to accommodate asylum-seekers, where they will receive support and assistance.

    This wave of rescues followed yet another operation, in which 35 individuals were picked up from two small boats off Lesbos late August 31 evening. When combined with the figures from August 30 and August 31, the total number of migrants rescued in the Aegean Sea this week has reached almost 500.

    These rescue operations highlight the continued influx of people from the Middle East and Africa who risk their lives to reach Europe in search of a better future. Many undertake treacherous journeys on overcrowded and unseaworthy vessels, making their way to the Greek islands as a gateway to the European Union.

    However, while Greece remains a significant destination for migrants, the data from the United Nations reveals that Italy still stands as the primary entry point for migrants into the EU in 2023. Italy has reported approximately 113,000 arrivals so far in the current year, while Spain follows with more than 21,000. Greece, as indicated by official figures, has seen 17,300 arrivals in the same period.

    These numbers underscore the urgent need for coordinated efforts among EU member states to address the ongoing migration crisis, ensuring the safety and dignity of those seeking refuge while tackling the root causes of displacement in regions affected by conflict, poverty, and persecution.
