ATHENS, Dhu-AlQa'dah 01, 1437, August 04, 2016, SPA -- Greece on Thursday rescued 70 migrants at sea, the largest single influx from neighbouring Turkey, authorities said. The Greek coastguard picked up 67 people on board a dinghy off the island of Lesbos, while another three were plucked to safety after falling into the water. "There was a boat with 70 people on board in distress," a coastguard official told Reuters. On Wednesday, the Greek coastguard picked up 38 people from a Sierra Leone-flagged vessel in the southern Peloponnese, off the town of Githeon. --SPA 16:01 LOCAL TIME 13:01 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
