Thirty asphyxiate on overcrowded boat bound for Italy
About 30 bodies have been found on a migrant boat bound for Italy, among around another 560 refugees crowded onboard travelling between North Africa and Italy.
The refugees likely died of asphyxiation, according to the navy and coastguard.
Although not the first time the Italian coastguard have found immigrants dead on overcrowded boats, they have never found such a number at one time.
Over the weekend the number of migrants arriving in Europe by boat this year tipped over 60,000. The largest number ever was 63,000 in 2011 as a result of the Arab Spring, but numbers are expected to be much higher this year.
