Dozens feared dead as migrant boats sink

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.

Thirteen migrants died after their boat collided with a ferry off the Turkish coast, officials said, while the Greek coast guard fanned out in the choppy waters of the Aegean Sea searching for another 27 people missing after their boat sank off the island of Lesbos.
