Capsizing of Refugee Boat off the Coast of Turkey Leaves at Least Seven Dead

The sinking of a boat carrying refugees off the coast of Turkey left at least seven victims.

The Turkish coast guard announced that a boat carrying several refugees crashed into rocks near the coastal town of Cesme in Turkey’s Aegean Sea on Wednesday, killing seven passengers. The occupants of a fishing boat managed to rescue another refugee before the coast guard arrived.

Eighteen other people, including several children, were rescued on the shores of the small island of Karaada near Cesme.

The Turkish coast guard stated in a statement that efforts are ongoing to find and rescue a missing migrant.

The Turkish coast guard claims that Greek authorities abandoned these refugees in Turkish territorial waters on a rescue boat, leading to the boat crashing into rocks and sinking.
