Hundreds of migrants still missing after boat capsizes in Greek waters

Hundreds of migrants are still missing after Greek authorities failed to locate any more bodies or survivors from the vessel that sank in one of the most deadly accidents to occur in the Mediterranean Sea.

Authorities on Thursday revised the death toll to 78 from 79 and said 104 people had been rescued after a fishing boat believed to have set off from Libya capsized south-west of the Peloponnese peninsula on Wednesday. Some 400 people were on board, with survivors estimating that more than 100 children were in the ship’s hold.
