What we wanted is to take care of them physically and mentally so that we can relieve them as much as possible so that these people can also feel as good as possible in the pain they live in,” he said.

“The ship had enough people, the information has already been given to the Coast Guard and the police, unfortunately there were many people stranded. The information we have is that there were many people inside the boat, mainly women and children”, noted Dimitris, volunteer Samaritan – rescuer of the Hellenic Red Cross.
