Italy Migrant Deaths

Migrants prepare to board a ferry boat from the port of Lampedusa, for Sicily, southern Italy, where they will be sent to other temporary camps based on their legal status, Monday, Oct. 7, 2013. On Thursday a fishing boat packed with 500 African migrants capsized off the shores of the island of Lampedusa, causing at least 190 dead and more than 100 missing, in what could become the largest death toll in a migrant shipwreck in the Mediterranean on record. Lampedusa is Italy’s southernmost point and a frequent destination for migrants seeking refugee status in Europe. (AP Photo/Luca Bruno)
