The shipwreck survivors off Diakofto are going through a nightmare after the maritime accident on the sailboat they were aboard on the evening of Wednesday, October 5, as they were sailing from the coast of Asia Minor.
The refugees and migrants of Afghan origin who were rescued gathered at the school in Frilingianika, while some of them were taken to the hospital for first aid.
