Description
epa09323107 (03/33) A Turkish coast guard on patrol with their boat on Van Lake, in Van city, eastern province of Turkey, 04 June 2021. Smugglers use boats powered by extra engines to dodge the coast guards. The lake is a safer pass away from the checkpoints on the highways. Immigrants from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran are taken to the mountainous regions of the Tatvan district of Bitlis by boat after midnight or early in the morning, where they will wait. In June last year, around one hundred people, according to the Governor of Van, died when a boat sank in Lake Van.
