- Story Text: A boat that departed the Libyan port of Tobruk and capsized off the coast of Greece last week was carrying around 800 people, according to an initial investigation by police in Pakistan.
Witness accounts had placed the number on board at between 400 and 750 people and Greek authorities have said 104 survivors and 78 bodies have been brought ashore.
Relatives have been turning up outside Greece's Malakasa migrant facility since survivors were brought here on Friday (June 16), showing photos of the missing through the camp gates, in hopes someone might recognize them.
Pakistani authorities said they had arrested 14 suspects in connection with the alleged trafficking of migrants and police said they were searching for other suspects.
Search and rescue operations are ongoing, although no survivors or bodies have been found since last week.
The incident marks one of Europe's deadliest shipping disasters in recent years.
