Greece migrant ship disaster: EU has put the blame on people-smuggling gangs • FRANCE 24 English

Описание: A grim search continues off the coast of Greece for survivors of the migrant boat disaster - with the fear that over 100 children may have been in the hold of the ship that capsized. But the fact the vessel was packed to the gunnels as it set off makes rescuers and NGOs thing there could be at least another 500 missing. The boat set off from Tobruk in Libya northward bound for Greece. An aircraft from the EU's Frontex force made contact with the ship which apparently refused help. And in Greek waters, shadowed by a Greek coastguard vessel, the fishing boat capsized. The EU has put the blame on people-smuggling gangs, but for many NGOs and rights groups, the latest migrant boat sinking, off Greece, is the fault of a "Fortress Europe" policy. FRANCE 24's Camille Knight tells us more.
