PALERMO, Italy April 19 (Reuters) - As many as 700 people were feared dead after a fishing boat packed with migrants capsized off the Libyan coast overnight, in what may be one of the worst disasters of the Mediterranean migrant crisis, officials said on Sunday.
Twenty eight people were rescued in the incident, which happened just off Libyan waters, south of the southern Italian island of Lampedusa, Antonino Irato, a senior official from the Italian border police, told television station RaiNews24.
He said 24 bodies had been recovered.

Migrants? Or illegals?
Maybe something like this
Down to da bottom of me Davey Jones locker! Aaargh!
Invaders.
And the Euros better find the resources to repel this invasion.
I didn’t know the Italian Island of Lampedusa was so far down there, it’s more South by a ways than even Malta. See map: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32371348
Many of these people running away from the people destroying their country are fighting aged men.
Why do they not stay and fight for their freedom instead of running away?
"The boat is believed to have capsized when the migrants shifted to one side of the overcrowded vessel as a merchant ship approached."
No mention of weather conditions playing any part in the capsize of this vessel.
Perhaps it was a result of attempted repeat cleansing of non-Muslim passengers (4/16) ...aka poetic justice?
20,000 this year alone. Italy is overwhelmed.
Yeah, they make it seem like these people were only taking an official ferry ride to Italy after properly applying for citizenship.
Free stuff is a powerful magnet. Why work when it’s free?
And why do they flee? There are those that say Islam is the answer to all of life’s travails....the perfect religion, the perfect economy, the perfect equality,the perfect societal order, the perfect charity etc. But in the vernacular of the leftists, the “root cause” here is Islam. Impossible for some to recognize the truth even when they see its results.
The left in Europe (and elsewhere) are in the process of framing this to mean that *all* Africans have a right to live in Europe...just as surely as *our* leftists proudly proclaim that all Mexicans have the right to live here.
Maybe it capsized because a fight broke out on the boat between Muslims and Non-Muslims. There have been stories of Muslims throwing Christians off of these boats.
