38 MIGRANTS BETWEEN TURKEY AND GREECE WERE DISCOVERED STRANDED ON SMALL, UNIDENTIFIED ISLAND

  • 16/08/2022

38 migrants, including a lady who was severely pregnant, were discovered stranded on a small, unidentified island near the Turkish-Greek border.

The 22 men, 9 women, and 7 kids claim to have been on the islet in the Evros river since mid-July.

They were transferred to mainland Greece after being found on Monday.

The group was described as being in "quite excellent shape" by the nation's minister of migration, who added that the pregnant woman had been transported to the hospital as a precaution.

However, the group and human rights organisations claim that at least one child perished on the islet, which is close to the Greek town of Lavara. Police in Greece have not yet verified this.
