      Refugee crises are difficult problems. But this level of mismanagement and miserliness is very frustrating. This isn't World War II. /aaargh

      The fishermen had saved 14 from that boat, but they kept looking & looking to make sure they had everyone. Hence they found the baby.

      According to survivors, there may have been another 15 who did drown, including pregnant women. I hear such a story almost every day now.

      It is now raining all over the Aegean coast @zeynep Sea is riskier than ever, and will be in the coming weeks, meaning more people drowning.

      @zeynep I am in Izmir. There are still many small groups around Basmane, especially at nights, moving to and fro, with their backpacks on.

      @zeynep They just pass by us: Our homes, our stores, our cars, our "normal" lives, moving quickly into the darkness. It kills me.

      @melikedkaplan It's so awful and maddening. Hard to know what more to say.
