The Port Authority of Tilos was informed on Tuesday afternoon by the police about the existence of migrants in the Limenari area.

2 patrol vessels of the Coast Guard and the Coast Guard, 1 patrol vessel and 1 offshore vessel (SPV) went to the scene, while a Coast Guard plane also took off.

At noon today, PATH approached the site, where it released and rounded up 106 people – 37 men, 32 women and 37 minors, all in good health, who were then safely transported to the port of Livadia in Tilos.

Preliminary investigation is carried out by the Port Station of Tilos of the Central Port Authority of Rhodes.

The mayor of the island, Maria Kamma, made an emotional post with videos and photos from the rescue of the 106 people.

“Men, crying and several of them holding their little children in their arms, thanking the porters and trying to kiss their hands…

Coast Guard men with extra care, picking up children and wounded and getting them off the ship.

Police, medical and nursing staff should be present as well as residents of the island to offer dry clothes, bread, shoes and anything else they could quickly bring…

Unfortunately, many children and babies…”

“Tilos my lady is not for you”

In her post, Ms. Kamma also referred to the disturbance of a woman while the above scenes were taking place in the port.

“And suddenly a “lady” who is fishing with her boyfriend in the harbor, apparently “ruins” her vacation ( this nonsense!

He starts yelling where are you taking them, why are you picking them up?

Thinking that she did not agree with the process of registering the refugees by the port authorities, I replied that madam, that is how it is done, the port authorities take them to the port authority in order to be registered.

Oh no!

“Throw them into the sea”

This was the wish of the “lady”! And he starts giving me lessons! How we must keep our country and our lands Greek, how we are Christians and “they” have no place here! To drive them out, to throw them into the sea that carry them to our islands, meaning the men of the harbor boat that carried 106 human souls, that was their crime! That’s why the woman got mad, guys! She was watching the men of the coastguard who were helping the children to get off the boat and she got angry because they didn’t speak Greek and they weren’t Christian!!! We were thanking them and she only didn’t curse them!

And she even had the audacity to want to take a video of me because I dared to tell her how wrong she is. who are you I tell her who I am, tell me your name too, I answer her, she told me a name, I don’t know if it’s the real one, but I told her the truth and I’ll say it again:

My lady, this island is not for you!
