Athens, March 28 (Xinhua) – Twenty-two people died after a boat carrying migrants drifted for several days at sea off the Greek island of Crete, the Greek Coast Guard reported on Saturday.
According to the agency's press release, 26 survivors who had sent out a distress call were rescued near the island on March 26. The survivors reported that 22 people died en route from Libya due to lack of food and water.
Survivors say they set off from Tobruk, Libya, on March 21, paying smugglers up to €8,660 (around $10,000), but the ship drifted off course and drifted in the open sea for several days.
Among those rescued, two men from South Sudan were arrested on suspicion of human trafficking. –0–
