In this Friday, Jan. 29, 2016 photo made available Saturday, migrants walk before travelling to Greek island of Lesbos, near Ayvacik, Turkey. A boat smuggling migrants to Greece slammed into rocks off the Turkish coast near Ayvacik on Saturday and capsized, killing at least 33 people including five children, as the choppy Aegean Sea continued to claim asylum-seekers' lives this month at an appalling pace, officials said. Coast guard officials said they rescued 75 people from the 17-meter (56-foot) vessel but government officials said they suspected more were trapped inside the sunken vessel and the death toll was likely to rise.
