39 Migrants drowned after boat capsizes in Turkey.
39 migrants travelling from Turkey to Greece have died including several children as they try to seek asylum. BBC news reported that the life guard in Turkey managed to save 60 people but they expect the death tole to rise when they begin to check the boat.
BBC news also reported some statistics saying that thousands make a dangerous journey trying to seek asylum in other countries and that 244 people had died so far this year.
The reason why this was one of BBC news biggest stories is because it is a big issue that people are risking their lives to escape their old ones. The problem is that people are becoming so desperate that they will do anything. This is an issue for other countries because even though they have to make the borders tight because there is only so much space but they don't want people getting killed trying to get into the country.
In my opinion I think that it is important to spread news like this because it shows how bad it is in other countries and how the leaders of countries need to try an improve the situation.
