One woman has been reported dead after a migrant dinghy capsized in the Aegean Sea while en route to Greece. 19 other individuals were rescued.
Eighteen of the survivors were picked up off the islet of Agathonissi, and another was rescued by the Turkish coast guard in Turkish waters and handed over to a Greek patrol boat.
