At lesst 44 migrants die and dozens missin while crossing over from Turkey to Greece

It was yet another case of death at sea while trying to flee from the hell of the troubled Middle East, especially Syria and Iraq. At least 44 migrants have lost their lives and dozens are reported as missing after their boats sank on their way from Turkey to Greece. 20 0f the dead are children. This is as per reports of coast guard officials of Greece and Turkey.
This has also been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 22 January 2016.

The Greek coastguard have rescued 74 people after two boats ran into trouble off the Greek Aegean islands of Farmakonisi and Kalolimnos. They have recovered the bodies of 17 children, 17 women and 10 men. The search operation was supported by a helicopter from EU border agency Frontex. Search was continuing for dozens of people still missing from the boat that capsized off Kalolimnos.
In addition, the Turkish coastguard have indicated that they had found the bodies of three children after a third boat sank near the seaside resort of Didim.
These people were fleeing from the war and misery in the Middle East and elsewhere and, many of them are Syrian refugees. They keep arriving in thousands from Turkey in flimsy boats braving the harsh conditions and dangers. In the process, at least 113 migrants have died in the Aegean already this year, as revealed by the International Organization for Migration. It has estimated that some 37,000 migrants have reached Greece by sea so far this year - they hope to begin life afresh in Germany, Sweden and elsewhere in the European Union.
