Turkish coast guard rescues 40 irregular migrants pushed pack by Greek forces

The incidents, occurring off the coasts of Muğla and İzmir, have brought renewed attention to the ongoing challenges faced by migrants seeking safer shores.

In three separate and concerning episodes, Greek forces reportedly pushed the irregular migrants away from their waters, leaving them stranded and vulnerable. Responding promptly to distress calls, the Turkish Coast Guard teams sprang into action to bring the migrants to safety.

The rescued individuals were immediately provided with necessary medical attention and care upon reaching the shores. The Coast Guard teams collaborated closely with local authorities and medical personnel to ensure the migrants' well-being.

Following the rescue operations, the irregular migrants were transferred to the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management. This step is part of the established protocol to ensure proper processing and necessary administrative actions for those seeking refuge. (ILKHA)
