Greek cliff rescue in double migrant tragedy off Lesbos and Kythira

Local officials said the boat had left the Turkish port of Ayvali and Greek Migration Minister Notis Mitarachi called on Turkey to take “immediate action” to put an end to irregular migrant crossings in harsh weather. “Already today many lives lost in the Aegean, people are drowning in unseaworthy vessels. EU must act,” he tweeted.
