As many as 700 migrants are feared drowned after their packed boat capsized off Libya.
The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and Italy's coastguard said on Sunday that only 28 people had survived the wreck.
Their testimonies suggested there had been about 700 people on board the 20-metre-long fishing boat, officials said.
'It seems we are looking at the worst massacre ever seen in the Mediterranean,' UNHCR spokeswoman Carlotta Sami said.
