A boat carrying migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan has sunk in Lake Van in eastern Turkey, with at least seven people dead, officials say.
Sixty-four people were rescued and taken to nearby hospitals and shelters.
The incident happened at À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÄ¿½ºÅÒ±Þ=À̹ÌÅ×À̼DZ¸¸Å´ëÇà À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÄ¿½ºÅÒ±Þ around 03:00 local time (00:00 GMT). It was not clear why they were on the boat in the lake which is completely within Turkey.
The boat sank after capsizing as it approached Adilcevaz district in Bitlis, on the northern shores of the lake, the governor's office said.
Turkey has been a key transit point for migrants trying to reach Europe, many of them fleeing violence and persecution in their home õ¾È¿ø·ë¸Å¸Å countries. Many rely on people's smugglers and face dangerous land and sea routes which often result in deaths.
