A Greek surfer saved the life for a drowned Syrian refugee; the incident is the second of its kind in two days.

The Surfer managed to pull the Syrian refugee who fell out of the boat, which was taking him with other Syrians from Turkey to Greece, and remained clinging to his life vest for 8 hours.

The surfer carried the Syrian Hassan Tamani, 36 years, and took him to the hospital immediately after arriving to the beach.

The Syrians on the boat, who arrived to Greece, have told the Greek authorities what had happened, which in turn began the process of search for him, without being able to find him.
