75 migrants rescued off Greece

WEB DESK: The Greek coastguard on Tuesday said it had rescued 75 migrants in an area where one of the Mediterranean’s worst migrant shipwrecks occurred last year.
They were on board a sailboat southwest of the Peloponnese coastal town of Pylos and will be taken to the port of Kalamata, the coastguard said, without mentioning the nationalities or port of origin.
In June 2023, a rusty and overloaded trawler sailing out of Tobruk in Libya believed to be carrying more than 750 people sank southwest of Pylos.
There were 104 survivors, but more than 600 people are considered to have perished.
Dozens of survivors have filed a criminal complaint against the Greek coastguard, alleging that they took hours to respond despite warnings from EU border agency Frontex and the NGO Alarm Phone.
