Child Dies As Migrants Try To Cross Greece-Turkey Border

A tragic incident occurred when a child drowned as a boat carrying 48 people capsized near Lesbos, Greece. This marks the first death since Turkey eased its border controls, allowing more refugees to attempt entering Europe. The relaxation of border policies comes amid escalating violence in Syria, prompting many to flee to Turkey, which already hosts millions of migrants. Some refugees have moved towards Greece, leading to clashes with Greek Border Patrol. Turkish President Erdogan defended his decision, urging the EU to share the responsibility of hosting Syrian refugees.
