A 50-day-old refugee baby was rescued on Sunday, August 18 after being stranded for three days on the Greek island of Tilos.
The Mayor of Tilos, Maria Kamma posted a video on X of the rescue operation.
The baby was part of a group consisting of dozens of refugees who had been trapped in a mountainous area of Tilos. While the baby was rescued by sea, the others were rescued by helicopter.
Mayor Kamma said the baby’s parents were making its milk with seawater whilst they were stranded.
She added that the refugees were beaten by Turkish traffickers and among them were other children and pregnant women.
“This is the scene of despair that the island’s society has been facing in recent months and the external help? Minimal,” Kamma underlined.
The Mayor also thanked her fellow citizens and local authorities, who helped with the rescue efforts.
