Hundreds of migrants moved from Crete to Greek mainland as island struggles with Libya arrivals
Over 500 migrants landed at Lavrio, Greece, after being intercepted near Crete, part of a surge in Mediterranean crossings. Transferred from a fishing trawler, they'll be detained. Crete's overwhelmed reception centers prompted mainland transfers. Greece will suspend asylum processing for migrants arriving by sea from North Africa. Manos Logothetis stated the measures signal Europe's refusal to accept migration flows from North Africa.
