Six children die as migrant boats sink off Turkey: report

ANKARA - At least six children drowned on Friday in two separate incidents when their boats sank off Turkey while trying to make the risky crossing to Greece, state media reported.

A first boat loaded with 55 Syrian and Afghan migrants sank in strong winds and high waves in the Aegean after setting out from near the town of Ayvacik for the Greek island of Lesbos, the Anatolia news agency reported.

Turkish coastguards have so far recovered bodies of four Afghan children, it said.

Another two children perished when their vessel heading for the Greek island of Kos sank off the coast near the southwestern resort of Bodrum, Anatolia said.

The boat capsized because of heavy rains and stormy weather, it added.

Turkey, which is hosting 2.2 million refugees from the conflict in neighbouring Syria, has become the main transit point for people fleeing war and misery for a better life in Europe.

Turkey and the European Union have agreed in principle to a refugee action plan, which is expected to be finalised at a summit on Sunday.

The EU is planning to give Turkey cash help as well as provide visa-free travel for Turkish nationals in return for Ankara’s help to contain refugee crisis.

Poor poor parents deciding to leave a safe country to be economic migrants in northern Europe at the cost of their kid's lives. Of course the parents have to have ready $$$$cash$$$ to pay the human smugglers for this trip...which only proves that they are economic migrants not refugees. I feel sorry for the kids but am pulling for the parents to be shark food...

Got my facts straight...they paid a human smuggler POS....and sailed from a safe country....Turkey. They only left Turkey because they figured they could get on the "benefit train" once they reached northern Europe. These are parents who disgust me. Like I said the parents should be shark food.

So you're saying that they should be killed because they want to immigrate to Europe and don't want to stay in Turkey where a minimum wage job only pays $300.

You people are so cruel, it disgusts me.

No you have not got your facts straight, again research the conditions refugees face in Turkey.

This boat captain and people smuggler is best advised to seek a cozy life on welfare in Canada. They like people smugglers under the guise of refugees over there recently. One thing I would say to him, is stick to life on welfare, don't try any maritime activities in the north Atlantic or Pacific. They both can make your mediterranean look like a pond on a summers day.
