34 Drown In Mediterranean
An over crowded boat carrying about 500 migrants when it suddenly capsize sending 200migrants into the water. It triggered a frantic operation to search for survivors.
The Mediterranean (central) have been an illegal route for migrant to Europe, more than 50,000 have reached Italy this year.
The route is also the most deadly, accounting for the vast majority of the 1,364 people who the UN estimates have drowned in the mediterranean this year.
One report suggested a private humanitarian group, moas. Had begun lifting people from the crowded wooden boat about 30 nautical miles off Libya, when many fell into the water. It is thought they may have been knocked off balance by a wave.
