60 Migrants Rescued in Massive Operation
A boat with 60 migrants was rescued in a massive operation on Wednesday morning, where children had fainted, and others had fractured limbs after being off shore for six days.
The wooden boat was spotted 30 nautical miles off the coast of Cape Greco at 4:30am and the joint rescue and coordination centre (JRCC) immediately deployed its own team to bring the migrants to safety.
As authorities began to transfer the individuals to safety to the Ayia Napa marina, they found three children and an adult had fainted.
Another three people had fractured their lower limbs.
First aid was given on site while two helicopters from the police and national guard deployed the critical patients to the Famagusta and Nicosia hospitals. A team of medical staff accompanied the patients.
The boat left Lebanon on January 18, authorities said.
