Four illegal migrants drowned in the Aegean Sea when a rubber boat carrying dozens of illegal migrants capsized on Saturday.

Turkish coast guard teams rescued 24 of 27 illegal migrants aboard the boat and pulled bodies of four illegal migrants who were on their way to the Greek island of Lesbos, officials said.

One of the illegal migrants, mostly Palestinian and Burmese, was taken to a hospital in the western province of Balikesir. The illegal migrant was in serious condition, officials said.
