A child has died after a boat capsized off the Greek Island of Lesbos, the event being the first reported fatality since Turkey opened its border letting migrants enter Europe.

 

It is reported the passengers "overturned" the boat, Greek officials commenting this is a "common tactic" used by traffickers to force a rescue

 

Forty-six were rescued and two children taken to hospital, one of whom could not be revived.

 

The child was a passenger on a dinghy attempting a sea crossing after Greek police fired tear gas at migrants trying to push through the land border.

 

The child's death is the first reported since Turkey's decision to stop enforcing a 2016 agreement with the European Union.
