The Turkish coast guards have been searching for 10 missing migrants after their boat sank in the Aegean Sea.
Anadolu Agency said a number of migrants were rescued as part of a search-and-rescue operation launched after a Greece-bound boat, with a total of 15 people on board, went down off the coast of Dikili, close to the Greek island of Lesbos. Earlier, two of the migrants managed to swim to shore to seek help.
Although their numbers have decreased in recent years, Palestinian refugees from Syria and other tension-stricken zones across the MENA region still try to cross into Greece from nearby Turkey in the hopes of making their way to other European countries.
