Rescuers find more dead after Italy shipwreck

Reuters Videos

STORY: Rescuers trolling the Mediterranean recovered more bodies on Monday, a day after a wooden sailboat carrying migrants to Europe shipwrecked off of Italy's southern coast.

Debris lined the beach after the vessel crashed into rocks in stormy weather on Sunday … leaving scores dead, including more than a dozen children.

Pakistan's Prime Minister said more than two dozen Pakistanis were believed to have been among the boat's passengers.

Rescuers said many Afghanis and some Iranians had also been aboard.

Local authorities said 80 people survived the shipwreck, but as many as 200 may have been aboard the vessel when it left from Turkey, suggesting many more passengers are missing.

Locals left flowers and candles on metal railings outside a sports hall where dozens of coffins were laid out ahead of an eventual funeral.

The shipwreck has reignited a debate on migration in Europe and Italy, where the recently elected right-wing government's tough new laws for migrant rescue charities have drawn criticism from the United Nations and others.

The United Nations Missing Migrants Project has registered more than 20,000 deaths and disappearances in the Mediterranean since 2014, including more than 220 just this year, making it the most dangerous migrant route in the world.

  • Uganda passes bill banning identifying as LGBTQ

    STORY: The measure hands authorities broad powers to target Ugandans who already face legal discrimination and mob violence.More than 30 African countries, including Uganda, already ban same-sex relations. The new law appears to be the first to outlaw merely identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ), according to rights group Human Rights Watch.Supporters of the new law say it is needed to punish a broader array of LGBTQ activities, which they say threaten traditional values in the conservative and religious East African nation.In addition to same-sex intercourse, the law bans promoting and abetting homosexuality as well as conspiracy to engage in homosexuality.Violations under the law draw steep penalties including death for so-called aggravated homosexuality and life in prison for gay sex. Aggravated homosexuality involves gay sex with people under 18 years old or when the perpetrator is HIV positive, among other categories, according to the law.The legislation will be sent to President Yoweri Museveni to be signed into law.Museveni has not commented on the current proposal but he has long opposed LGBTQ rights and signed an anti-LGBTQ law in 2013 that Western countries condemned before a domestic court struck it down on procedural grounds.

  • Holocaust survivor recalls cart of bodies 80 years on

    STORY: It's been 80 years since Greek holocaust survivor Rina Revah was sent to a concentration camp.It was 1943 and she was four, but she still remembers the hunger. [Rina Revah, Holocaust survivor] “There was a piece of bread I would leave permanently rotting in my mouth, I would never swallow it, and my dad would bring me a new piece of bread to replace the old one. I don’t know how I survived, because I truly never ate anything, nothing at all.”Revah and her parents had ended up Germany's Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where she would remain for two years. "One day outside the camp I saw a huge, deep cart with wooden side panels that were being pulled by horses. Underneath, two workers were throwing naked bodies of workers into the cart. At some point, the cart overflowed with bodies, and an officer with long black boots climbed onto it and started to stomp on the bodies in order to make room for more. I don’t know what a four-year-old child understood from such a scene but I remember that I started to cry.” Revah is one of the last survivors of some 50,000 Jews who lived in the Greek city of Thessaloniki where a thriving Jewish community once existed before WWII. Every year the community is honored in ceremonies around the 15th of March, when in 1943 the first train left the city for the concentration camps.Of those deported only 1,950 returned to Thessaloniki alive, according to the community’s website.Revah's parents, one set of grandparents, and an uncle made it back, but several of her other relatives were lost. “It must not be forgotten. I think we owe that to those people who died, six million people died.”
