At least 34 dead in boat capsize
- 11 years ago
For the second time in less than two weeks, a boatload of migrants capsizes off the Italian coast, killing at least 34 people - mostly women and children.
The boat carrying about 250 people tipped over in waters between Sicily and Tunisia on Friday.
Emergency workers in Malta helped survivors board buses after a 10-hour harrowing journey.
Survivors from yet another vessel were also rescued overnight. It's unclear what happened to that boat or if there were any casualties.
Both incidents come just barely a week after a boat capsized in the same region killing at least 339 people.
