Three babies among drowned off the west coast of Turkey after a boat carrying refugees sank
At least 4 children are dead after a boat carrying refugees sank in the Aegean Sea off the Turkish coast on Wednesday.
The coast guard saved 60 people from the sea near the small Turkish island of Kara Ada, including three women and five children.
The 15-meter day tripping vessel was heading to Greek island, Bodrum Provincial Governor Amir Çiçek said.
Over the past year, thousands have made journeys across the Aegean in a bid to reach northern and western Europe.
According to the UN's Refugee Agency, the total number of arrivals in 2015 so far to Europe via the Mediterranean is now over 950,000 people.
More than 781,000 migrants have arrived in Greece by sea since the start of the year, mostly from Turkey.
There were 632 deaths in the Aegean up to December 14, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Refugees often attempt to enter Europe through Greece.
