Hundreds missing in the Mediterranean

A boat that was holding over 950 people on board and some hundreds were smuggled in the bottom. their has only been 28 survivors and 24 dead bodies they have found. Where the ship had gone down the water goes about 3 miles down so they may never know how many people were actually on board. This also refers to the fact that illegal immigration has risen everywhere the past years. Also European countries do not spend as much as they should in rescue teams and trying to stop illegal smuggling. Some Italian lawmakers suggested a naval blockade but Renzi denied that by saying the ships would not be able to send the immigrants back to the chaos in Libya.
