31 Immigrants Rescued off the Coast of Chios

immigrantsThe Greek Coast GuardĀ proceeded with yet another illegal immigrants rescue operation, one of the many carried out on a daily basis during the last months.
More specifically, in the early hours on Wednesday, two Coast Guard vessels rescued 31 immigrants who were onĀ a boat off the coast of Chios, in eastern Aegean Sea, Greece.
The immigrants, who appear to have come from the Turkish shores, have been taken to the port of Chios and are all reportedly in good health.
Greece is considered the main point of entry to the European Union. As of late, the number of immigrants ā€” especially from the Middle East ā€” attempting to enter Greece has increased because of the war in Syria and tensions in the surrounding areas. Thousands of immigrants have lost their lives trying to cross the Aegean on rickety boats.
