Four people, including two children, drowned and seven others were rescued when a refugee boat capsized off the Greek island of Lesbos, Greek authorities said on Wednesday.
The Greek coastguard on Wednesday also picked up another 90 migrants travelling on dinghies between Turkey and the island of Lesbos, an officer said.
Wednesday's fatalities were the first in the area for some weeks after a European Union deal with Turkey that has helped stem the flow of migrants making the narrow but precarious sea crossing from Turkish shores to outlying Greek islands.
Those who survived said there were 11 people in total on the boat, the coastguard said.
