Frontex is in the news for its role amid deadly Mediterranean migrant shipwrecks and EU tightening asylum rules.
A migrant boat near Chios sank after a collision, resulting in at least 15 deaths and 25 rescues. The incident highlights ongoing dangers and Greece's strict migration policies amid a broader EU debate on border control and human rights.
Last year, Crete saw a threefold increase in irregular migration, with about 20,000 arrivals, driven by conflicts in Africa and smuggling from Libya. EU and Greek authorities are increasing surveillance and tightening policies amid ongoing tragedies at sea.
At least 22 migrants have died after their boat capsized off Libya, with bodies thrown into the sea. Survivors report overcrowding and rough weather. Rescue efforts continue, highlighting ongoing dangers for migrants crossing from North Africa to Europe.
