Malta’s prime minister has said European waters close to Africa are turning into a cemetery, after another boat laden with migrants capsized.
Joseph Muscat said Malta felt “abandoned” by the rest of Europe and urged the EU to take action.
Malta and Italy launched a rescue operation after a boat capsized on Friday, killing at least 30 people.
It happened 120km (70 miles) off Lampedusa, the Italian island where at least 300 migrants drowned last week.
On Saturday, rescuers pulled another 20 bodies from the sea, raising the toll from that shipwreck to 359, BBC informs.
