from BBC : The trawler overturned apparently as a result of people on board rushing to one side after spotting a rescue ship, and five were found dead. People clung desperately to the deck or dropped into the sea. Italy's Bettica patrol boat threw life rafts and jackets while another Italian ship sent rescue boats.

The same patrol boat rescued a further 108 migrants in another incident later on Wednesday. Nearly 6,000 migrants trying to reach Europe illegally have been rescued from flimsy craft in the Mediterranean in recent days.
