The Turkish coast guard was able to rescue two migrants from the sea near the town of Eceabat in Canakkale province, while two others managed to reach the shore and alert authorities.
The exact number of individuals on the boat at the time of the sinking remains unclear, prompting ongoing search efforts by the coast guard in the area. Governor Ilhami Aktas revealed that among the deceased, seven were infants or children, highlighting the devastating toll of the incident.
