At least 27 people, including a newborn baby, have died after a boat carrying nearly one hundred migrants capsized off the coast of Italy.
The tragedy occurred 14 miles south of the island of Lampedusa on Wednesday - with the search for the people still missing continuing into the night.
Twenty bodies, including six which were found under the capsized boat, have already been recovered, local media has reported.
Sixty survivors were brought to a centre in Lampedusa, Filippo Ungaro, a UNHCR spokesperson in Italy said.
It is understood there were between 92 and 97 migrants on board the boat when it departed Libya on Tuesday evening.
