At least 30 refugees drowned in northern Cyprus
Come alive. 120 migrants were rescued by the Turkish Coast Guard.
At the sinking of a small ship, at least 30 migrants drowned off the northern coast of Cyprus. Several people have disappeared, said the government of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is recognized only by Turkey. The Turkish Coast Guard has been able to save 120 people, he said.
The exact circumstances of the accident were not known. The rescued migrants – mostly Syrians – were brought to Turkey. The rescue operation in the Levantine Sea between the southern coast of Turkey and Cyprus continued Wednesday night. The exact place where the sunken refugee ship had started and where it had to leave was not clear at first.
Traffickers repeatedly bring migrants from the Arab states of southern Turkey to northern Cyprus. Then these people try to go to the southern part of the Greek Cypriot island and therefore in the EU
