Nearly 140 migrants have reportedly reached Greece's shores over the past 24 hours after crossing the Mediterranean. One man drowned off the coast of Crete.
Greece's coast guard said 34 men and three boys were rescued on Thursday by a passing merchant vessel some 95 miles south of Crete after issuing a distress signal.
A coast guard statement Friday said one more man who had been on the boat fell into the sea and drowned, according to other survivors and the ship's captain. All survivors were taken to Crete. They told authorities they had set off from eastern Libya on Tuesday.
