Authorities have recovered the bodies of at least 36 migrants who drowned off Turkey after their boats overturned in rough waters as they tried to reach the Greek island of Lesbos, officials said.

Nine drowned migrants, including children, have washed up on a beach on Turkey’s Aegean coast after their boat capsized in rough seas.

Fourteen people have died after their wooden boat sank on its way to the Greek island of Lesbos.

The bodies of four more refugees trying to reach Europe have been found off the Greek coast after a boat capsized near the island of Lesbos.

Rescuers in Greece are continuing to search for 38 people who are still missing after a wooden boat carrying migrants sank near the island of Lesbos.

The Greek coastguard has rescued 242 people off the eastern island of Lesbos after the wooden boat they travelled in capsized, leaving at least three people dead.

Dozens of migrants are feared dead after two boat tragedies left rescuers scouring the seas for those who had set out on risky crossings after fleeing war and poverty in their homelands.

Rescuers are searching for 26 people who are missing after a boat with 46 migrant refugees sank off the Greek island of Lesbos.

It was supposed to be the first step on their journey to Western Europe. But now thousands of refugees are mired in despair, anger, and frustration on the scenic Greek island of Lesbos.
