(via Greece boat disaster: Capsized boat had 100 children in hold, BBC told - BBC News)
Survivors from a fishing boat that sank off southern Greece in one of Europe’s worst migrant disasters say up to 100 children may have been on board.
At least 78 people have already been confirmed dead in the disaster.
But many more could still be missing at sea, with reports suggesting that up to 750 people were aboard the vessel.
At least 11 arrests have been made including several Egyptians on suspicion of people trafficking, Greek TV reports.
The coastguard has been criticised for not intervening earlier but authorities say their offers of aid were refused.
Rescuers are still searching the area where the boat capsized almost 50 nautical miles off the south-west coast, as hopes of finding more survivors dwindle.
The boat had been heading to Italy from the Libyan port of Tobruk when it went down.
