At least 21 migrants died in two maritime incidents near Crete while attempting to cross the Mediterranean. Greek authorities rescued 133 individuals, with two still missing. The first incident involved a boat carrying Sudanese nationals, leading to eight confirmed deaths. A second tragedy saw a container ship rescue 18 people and recover 13 bodies. Investigations revealed that the migrants had departed from Libya, paying significant sums to traffickers. Greek officials attribute the tragedies to human trafficking networks and emphasize the need for better cooperation with Libya to manage migrant flows. Greece has seen over 37,000 migrant arrivals this year, with more than 22,000 reaching Crete.
