The trawler may have carried as many as 750 passengers, including women and children who were likely trapped in the hold as the vessel overturned and went down early on Wednesday.A huge search-and-rescue operation initially recovered 78 bodies and picked up 104 survivors — all men and boys. But no more have been found.
Greek officials argued that the migrants and refugees repeatedly refused assistance and insisted on continuing to Italy. Legal experts said that was no excuse for Greek officials' non-interference.

Greece: 32 migrants dead, more than 100 rescued after fishing vessel capsizesAuthorities say at least 32 people have died after a fishing boat carrying dozens of migrants capsized and sank off the southern coast of Greece. A large search and rescue operation is underway. Authorities said 104 people have been rescued so far following the incident early Wednesday some 75 kilometers (46 miles) southwest of Greece’s southern Peloponnese region. The Greek coast guard says it's unclear how many passengers might remain missing at sea after the 32 bodies were recovered. The Italy-bound boat is believed to have sailed from the Tobruk area in eastern Libya. The Italian coast guard first alerted Greek authorities and Frontex about the approaching vessel on Tuesday.
