At least 39 people have died when a boat carrying more than 100 refugees sank off the western Turkish coast, officials have told the Anatolia news agency.
Dozens of people remain missing after the accident, which occurred on Thursday.
"The number of casualties recovered from the boat rose to 39," said Ardahan Totuk, acting governor of Izmir province, adding that the toll would rise as more bodies were found in the boat locker.
"The boat's captain and his maid, as well as 43 illegal immigrants, were rescued alive," said Tahsin Kurtbeyoglu, local administrator in Izmir province in western Turkey.
