At least 13 migrants including four babies drowned when two boats making the perilous crossing from Turkey to Greece capsized today. One boat overturned off the Greek island of Samos - just 20 metres from the shore. Ten bodies, including six children - four of them babies - were found in the vessel's cabin while one was discovered washed up on the island. Two others were still missing with coastguards saying 15 were plucked from the water. A boat from the European border agency Frontex also recovered two bodies near the island of Farmakonnisi, near Samos, after what is believed to be a separate capsizing.WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT: Two boats capsized on Greek crossingOne overturned off the island of Samos - just 20 metres from the shoreTwo bodies were recovered near the island of Farmakonnisi, near SamosMore than 60 people have drowned in migrant boat tragedies since Monday
