[Intime News]
Thirty-eight migrants were rescued off the southern coast of Crete on Thursday, the Coast Guard said.
The migrants, all men, were located by the crew of a Liberian-flagged cargo ship some 17.5 nautical miles south of the small island of Gavdos and then transported by a Coast Guard lifeboat to the Cretan port of Sfakia.
They will next be transferred to the city of Chania and then to the Kalatha Akrotiri camps for migrants.
