CORFU. According to information received, the boat set sail from Lebanon and is heading for Italy, closely watched by the Coastguard while it is in Greek waters.

It is estimated that 20-30 immigrants are on board the boat that has been anchored off Agios Georgios Argyrades for two nights, closely watched by a Coastguard patrol boat.

According to information received, the boat set sail from Lebanon and is heading for Italy. The Coastguard has been keeping a close eye on it since it entered Greek waters.



The captain told the Coastguard that it dropped anchor due to the bad weather in the Adriatic. Once the weather has improved, it will continue its journey to the southern Italian coast and its destination of Otranto.
