Greek rescuers pulled 250 people from the Mediterranean and were searching for more survivors on Friday after a boat with hundreds of migrants capsized south of Crete.


“We have rescued 250 people so far and are searching for more migrants in the sea,” Greek Coastguard spokesman NIkolaos Lanadianos told state TV.


The boat – its origin not immediately clear and carrying migrants of undetermined nationality – capsized 75 miles south of Crete in the central Mediterranean.
