CRI听力:Over 700 Stranded Migrants Towed to Crete, Greece
A stranded ship carrying more than 700 migrants has arrived on the Greek island of Crete.
The migrant ship is believed to be carrying a group of refugees from Syria.
Greek Health official Panayiotis Efstathiou says if confirmed, the Syrians are likely going to be allowed to stay in Europe.
"There are two groups. Syrians, in terms of guidelines from the World Health Organization and the United Nations, will be released after being verified as they are considered refugees."
The 77-metre cargo ship lost power around 70-nautical miles southeast of Crete.
Tens of thousands of illegal migrants from the Middle East and North Africa attempt to try to make it into Europe through the Mediterranian every year.
Hundreds die.
On Wednesday, the Portuguese navy rescued 182 African migrants off the coast of Libya.
