AI Summary:
2 wooden fishing boats found sailing miles (kilometers) from the southernmost part of Greece. The first fishing boat, carrying 352 people, was spotted overnight about 30 nautical miles (35 miles, 55 kilometers) south of the tiny island of Gavdos. Passengers were rescued by a ship from the European border patrol agency FRONTEX. As of June 15 this year, a total of 16,290 arrivals were recorded, with more than 14,600 by sea. Smugglers opt for the much longer and riskier Mediterranean Sea crossing.
