More than 50 people drowned yesterday when a fishing boat carrying migrants promised refuge in Britain by smugglers sank after hitting rocks off the coast of western Turkey.
Nine children were among the dead, according to Turkey's Dogan News Agency, though other reports said up to half of the 58 who drowned may have been children.
