Rescuers pulled 104 survivors from the water and later recovered 78 bodies, but have not located any more since late Wednesday.
The Greek coast guard said the search-and-rescue operation would continue beyond the standard 72 hours., two United Nations agencies — the International Organization for Migration and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees — said that the boat was believed to be carrying anywhere from 400 to 750 people, and that"hundreds remain missing, and feared dead."
Greek coast guard spokesman Nikos Alexiou said that coast guard and private ships repeatedly offered by radio and loudspeaker to help the vessel Wednesday while it was in international waters, heading from Libya to Italy, but they were rejected. Eastern Mediterranean Maritime Limited said in a statement that the people on the trawler were eventually persuaded to accept supplies.
A group of nongovernmental organizations, including Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders, said the EU should"stop seeing solutions solely in the dismantling" of smuggling networks, and set up state-led search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean. The EU's executive commission says the 27-nation bloc is close to an agreement on how member countries can share responsibility in caring for migrants and refugees who undertake the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean.
