Alicia Medina, a journalist with Syria Direct in a post narrated her encounter with the survivors at the Malakasa Refugee Centre.
Her words: “I just came back from the Malakasa refugee center where 71 survivors of the #pylosshipwreck #Πυλος shipwreck are staying.
“Three survivors confirmed that the Greek Coast Guard tied a rope to their boat, pull (ed) them AND THEN the boat capsized.
“They told me after the boat capsized, the Coast Guards “took distance” from them and sailed away.
They say they stayed what it felt like 2-3 hours on the water until they were rescued.‘They tied a rope, we capsized, they sailed away’
