What is life like for the 2.5 million refugees in Turkey, and why do so many of them continue to attempt the dangerous sea crossing to Europe? Mark Mardell visits an unofficial refugee camp off the Aegean coast, where people say they are happy to be living, even in squalid conditions. And he speaks to a Syrian family who lost 13 members when their smuggler's ship sank on the short voyage to Greece. Parts of this full report were excerpted on The World this Weekend and the World at One. (Photo credit: Cem Yucesoy / Cem Terzi / George South / BBC)
