Athens, Dhu-AlHijjah 05, 1436, September 19, 2015, SPA -- A five-year-old child drowned after a boat carrying migrants capsized off the Greek island of Lesbos in the Aegean Sea close to the Turkish coast, a spokesman for the Greek coastguard told television on Saturday, according to dpa. The coastguard rescued 12 other migrants aboard the boat, but another 13 remained missing. "We are looking for those missing," the spokesman said. A similar incident on Sunday claimed the lives of 34 migrants off the small island of Farmakonisi, also in the Aegean but to the south of Lesbos. --SPA 12:30 LOCAL TIME 09:30 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
