Early in the morning on August 21, 2024, the Greek Coast Guard received a distress call regarding a migrant vessel approximately 30 nautical miles south of Chrysis Ierapetra island. Responding swiftly, a Coast Guard patrol vessel was dispatched to the scene, and the rescue operation was led by the boat named 'Archangel One', which successfully retrieved all 64 individuals on board. The rescued migrants were subsequently escorted to the fishing harbor of Ierapetra, where they were safely disembarked. Reports indicate that the group had embarked on their perilous journey from Tobruk, each paying entre 1,700 and 4,500 Euros for their passage.
