ANKARA - A fatal road accident that has killed 22 migrants in western Turkey, including children, highlights human tragedy despite an EU-Turkish deal with the aim of deterring illegal immigration.

The truck carrying migrants on a highway near Izmir airport swerved off the road on Oct 14 and plunged into a river channel. The migrants, who had inflatable dinghies with them, were reportedly heading to the coast in an attempt to reach Greece's Samos island.
