Director General of the General Authority of al-Basel Hospital Dr. Iskandar Ammar said all the survivors of the migrant boat sinking off Syria’s coast have been discharged from the hospital after their health improved.

His remarks came in light of reports that said Syrian security agencies had detained several young Syrians and Palestinians who had survived the sinking off Syria’s Tartus city.
