Another ship sinks in the Mediterranean as packed boat washes up on Greek island - just hours after 900 died off coast of Libya

Harrowing: Video footage shows a large, wooden double-masted boat with people packed on board, just meters away from the Greek island of Rhodes in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. At least people are thought to have died in one of three migrant boat disasters in just 24 hours

Na wa o, What is really happening...Barely 24 hours after 700 people perished in the Mediterranean sea, 20 new migrants are feared dead after one out of the three boats they were traveling in to Italy sank into the Mediterranean sea this morning April 20th.
According to the International Organization for Migration in Rome, a distress call from a sinking boat in the Mediterranean carrying more than 300 people was received this morning.


"The caller said that there are over 300 people on his boat and it is already sinking (and) he has already reported fatalities, 20 at least," Spokesman of IOM Joel Millman said in a statement.


Rescue: The vessel capsized after hitting rocks off the coast, causing dozens of desperate migrants to fall in to the choppy waters

Three bodies have already been recovered from the water and a further 80 people have been rescued so far, a Greek coast guard official said
