28,260 Immigrants Disembarked on Greek Islands Within 20 Days

Rhodes_migrantsAn OnAlert article claims that between June 23 and July 12, 2015, a total 28,260 illegal immigrants disembarked on Greek islands in the Aegean Sea.
The article alleged that 4,266 new immigrants arrived at various Greek islands over the past weekend.
It stated that the Greek Navy has spent 5 million euros due to its increased efforts to find boats that are smuggling illegal immigrants and its success rate has increased by 40%. Sources within the Navy said that frustration with Europe’s indifference to the situation is growing.
Despite the Navy’s increased effectiveness, their mission is still challenging because at the sight of authorities, immigrant smugglers throw the immigrants into the sea.
A United Nations report released in late June had found that between January and the end of June, Greece had the most seaborne immigrants and refugees out of all the European countries.
