The Turkish Coast Guard on Tuesday rescued more than 45 undocumented migrants off the Menderes district of Izmir province when an inflatable boat carrying them was found at risk of drowning in the Aegean Sea.
Among the 49 migrants were nationals of Syria, Angola, Mali, Senegal, South Africa and Yemen.
Turkey has been a main route for undocumented migrants and refugees trying to cross into Europe, since especially the beginning of the civil war in Syria.
