Twee Griekse omaatjes (yiayia) stonden vandaag voor hun huis in Skala Sikaminia over zee uit te turen. Ze zagen diverse boten in de problemen raken. Een motor hield er mee op dus moesten de inzittenden peddelen, een aantal sprongen in de zee om de boot te trekken. Een boot liep vol water en kwam al zinkend net op tijd aan wal. En een boot verdween onder het wateroppervlak. Een Griekse marineboot zocht naar de opvarende.
De vluchtelingen die land bereikten waren koud nat in shock, gewond, verdrietig en overstuur. En dan helpt een glimlach van yiayia en een knuffel van haar Griekse katje misschien een beetje. Two Greek grannys (yiayia) stood staring out of their home in Skala Sikaminia over the sea. They saw several boats get into trouble. A motor stopped working so the refugees had to paddle some passengers, jumped into the sea to pull the boat. A boat was filled with water and sinking it came just in time ashore. And a boat disappeared below the surface. A Greek navy boats searched for the crew member. The refugees that reached land were cold wet in shock, hurt, sad and upset. And then helps yiayia smile and a hug from her Greek kitten maybe a little. |
