A photographer has captured the incredible moment doctors battled to save children swept into the sea as their boat sank beneath the waves - just days after it was revealed heartless shopkeepers are selling fake lifejackets.
The children almost drowned as they tried to reach Lesbos in Greece from Turkey on Wednesday, when the four boats smugglers crammed more than 200 desperate refugees and migrants into sank.
At least five people, including three children, are known to have died, and the Greek coastguard were still searching for dozens more.
By Wednesday evening, it had rescued 242 from the water.
This brings the number of migrants who are known to have died en route to Greece to 34 - a figure made even more chilling after it was revealed some could have been wearing fake lifejackets.
Greedy shopkeepers in the Turkish resort of Izmir are selling fake life vests, which are stuffed with paper rather than specially made foam.
The lifejackets were pictured on display outside one shop, on Sunday.
For those relying on them to keep them afloat in the increasingly choppy seas, it is a horrifying prospect.
The pictures of the doctors working so hard to save the young lives in the sand of Lesbos are in sharp contrast.
