At least fifteen migrants have died after a small boat sank off the Greek island of Lesbos.
Twenty people have also been reported missing after their dinghy came into difficultly in the central Aegean Sea near Turkey in the early hours of Thursday amid high winds.
Around forty passengers are reported to have been on the boat during its night-time journey. Many of those on board were women who appeared "utterly panicked", coastguard spokesman Nikos Kokkalas told TV ER.
