Authorities in Greece have rescued 145 migrants who were found stranded on an island in the Evros River on the Greek-Turkish border. Thursday’s rescue came as shocking details continued to emerge about how Greek Coast Guard officials failed to save hundreds of migrants who drowned last week after their overcrowded fishing vessel sank off the Greek coast. El País reports Greek authorities were tracking the ship for more than 12 hours and never activated a rescue operation, even after the ship’s engine broke down.
