Three migrants tragically lost their lives, and another three remain missing after a rubber boat carrying a group of migrants capsized off the coast of Aydın province on Wednesday.
The incident occurred near the coastal town of Kuşadası when the boat, attempting to cross the Aegean Sea towards Greece, failed to comply with a "stop" warning issued by Turkish security forces.
The Coast Guard successfully rescued 32 individuals from the capsized boat, however, three migrants were confirmed dead, and three others are still unaccounted for despite ongoing search and rescue operations.
The Aegean Sea remains a perilous route for migrants seeking to reach Europe, with numerous incidents of boats capsizing or facing other dangers. Türkiye, which hosts over 4 million migrants, primarily Syrians, continues to face significant challenges in managing this humanitarian crisis. (ILKHA)

Türkiye has issued one of its strongest condemnations yet of Israel’s ongoing assault on the besieged Gaza Strip, warning that the humanitarian disaster has reached an “unbearable threshold” and urging the international community to take immediate action.
Bayram Bozyel, General Chairman of the Kurdistan Socialist Party (PSK), met with Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu, General Chairman of HÜDA PAR, at the party’s headquarters on Tuesday to discuss the disarmament of the PKK and potential pathways toward resolving the Kurdish issue.
Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned Israel’s launch of a ground offensive in Gaza City, describing it as a dangerous new stage in what it called the Netanyahu government’s “genocidal plans” against the Palestinian people.
The Global Sumud Flotilla, a civilian initiative aiming to break the brutal Israeli blockade of Gaza, has managed to set sail despite facing repeated attacks, sabotage, and threats from the Israeli occupation regime.
