Migrant crisis: Hundreds dead after boat capsized at sea



About five hundred migrants from Libya to Italy drowned when their boat capsized in the Mediterranean, according to 41 survivors who talked with BBC - although there is no official confirmation by the coastguards in the region. The survivors were transferred to another vessel when it sank in the middle of the night.



The survivors, from Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and Egypt, spoke to the BBC from the southern Greek city of Kalamata, where they are being held after their rescue.
According to the group, about 240 migrants left the Libyan port city of Tobruk heading for Italy. 
 Muaz from Ethiopia insisted that about 500 other migrants died when their boast capsized. He said:

"My wife and my baby drowned in front of me,". "I was one of the few who managed to swim back to the smaller boat,"
