Five migrants died when a dinghy sank off the coast of south-west Turkey on Saturday, the coastguard said, adding that it had rescued 11 people, while Greece said five more from the same wreck were rescued from a nearby island.
Turkey's coastguard said it had arrived at the scene after learning that a boat was taking in water at 6.20am (03.20 GMT).
It rescued 11 people, including a child, and took them to Didim port on the Aegean Sea for medical checks.
The incident took place off the town of Didim, in waters off the Turkish province of Aydin, they said.
In a video released by the Turkish coastguard, people aboard a grey inflatable dinghy are seeing waving as they are buffeted by rough seas.
Five survivors reach the Greek island of Farmakonisi, 10 kilometres from the Turkish coast, the Greek coastguard said.
According to a witness account by the Greek coastguard, 31 people were on board the boat when it departed.
Deaths in the Aegean are common, with people boarding makeshift boats even on stormy seas.
A woman and four children died in the same area at the beginning of February after their inflatable boat sank.
Since 2014, 2,269 people have drowned in the eastern Mediterranean, according to the International Organisation for Migration.
Your rights as an employee
The government has taken an increasingly tough line against companies that fail to pay employees on time. Three years ago, the Cabinet passed a decree allowing the government to halt the granting of work permits to companies with wage backlogs.
The new measures passed by the Cabinet in 2016 were an update to the Wage Protection System, which is in place to track whether a company pays its employees on time or not.
If wages are 10 days late, the new measures kick in and the company is alerted it is in breach of labour rules. If wages remain unpaid for a total of 16 days, the authorities can cancel work permits, effectively shutting off operations. Fines of up to Dh5,000 per unpaid employee follow after 60 days.
Despite those measures, late payments remain an issue, particularly in the construction sector. Smaller contractors, such as electrical, plumbing and fit-out businesses, often blame the bigger companies that hire them for wages being late.
The authorities have urged employees to report their companies at the labour ministry or Tawafuq service centres — there are 15 in Abu Dhabi.
