The 11-deck Marella Discovery ship encountered the struggling migrant boat off the coast of Greece on Saturday.
A luxury cruise ship rescued more than 100 migrants from the Mediterranean Sea this weekend, after their boat got into difficulty off the Greek coast.ship, operated by Marella Cruises, came across the struggling migrants on Saturday evening around 40 nautical miles from Greece's Peloponnese peninsula,Of the 111 migrants rescued from the water, 33 were children. Greek coast guard officials did not specify where the migrants were from nor from which country their boat departed.
However, boatloads of desperate people still set sail multiple times each week. More than 24,000 migrants have tried to cross the Mediterranean already this year. Many of those undertaking sea crossings do so from Libya, which remains chaotic and largely lawless following the overthrow of dictator Muammar Gadaffi in 2011.
The graphic below, provided by Statista, illustrates the number of refugees coming to Europe across the Mediterranean.The pressure on southern and eastern European nations has opened rifts between European Union member states, and authorities in the south are increasingly refusing to allow migrant rescue ships to dock at their ports.
Despite such deterrence, migrants still risk the perilous journey. Around 160,000 people made the crossing last year, but an average of six migrants die each day in the Mediterranean, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
