Turkish agency says baby among 5 drowned heading to Greece
Torrential rain has added to the desperate conditions at the site, with tents sinking in mud and soaked firewood making it impossible to start camp fires.
Government health experts at the camp say there is no sign yet of an infectious disease outbreak, but have been urging refugees at Idomeni to move to nearby army-built shelters.
For every migrant sent back, the EU would take in one Syrian refugee, thus trying to discourage people from setting set out on dangerous sea journeys, often arranged by unscrupulous smugglers.
In the latest deaths, Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency said five migrants, including a 3-month-old baby, drowned when their speedboat sank Thursday off Turkey's western coast, on its way to the Greek island of Lesbos.
