Turkey's state-run news agency says six children have drowned after a rubber dinghy carrying Afghan migrants to Greece sank off Turkey's Aegean coast.

The Anadolu Agency said the coast guard rescued five migrants from the sea on Tuesday and were still looking for two others reported missing.

The bodies of the children were recovered. Anadolu didn't report their ages, but said one of them was a baby.

The migrants were apparently hoping to make it to the island of Chios from the resort of Cesme despite bad weather.

Turkey has stepped up efforts to stop migrants from leaving to Greece by sea. Last week, authorities rounded up around 3,000 migrants in the town of Ayvacik, north of Cesme, who were believed to be waiting to make the journey to the Greek island of Lesbos.

A nationalist German party that has gained both support and criticism for tough talk on migrants is asking supporters for donations, saying planned changes in party financing rules could hurt its prospects.

Alternative for Germany initially focused on opposing eurozone bailouts but is now known mainly for opposing Europe's refugee influx. Its founding leader was ousted in July and left, but recent polls have given it support of up to 10 percent despite the split.

In a letter to members released Tuesday, leaders said planned new rules will affect its finances for 2017, an election year, and could mean it has to return money.

The party has been selling gold to supporters to get matching public funding. Under new rules, that income would no longer count.
