Migrants, including children, were thrown into the sea from an overcrowded boat by people smugglers, survivors of a deadly shipwreck have said. At least 65 people, including 14 youngsters, died when their the wooden vessel slammed into shoals near the shore of Steccato di Cutro, Italy.
The boat, which sailed from Turkey and carried people from countries including Afghanistan and Iran, broke apart and sank in rough seas early on Sunday.
About 80 survivors have now been accounted for of the 170 people who are reported to have attempted the perilous journey from Izmir last week. The smugglers are alleged to have charged around £7,000 (€8,000) each for the voyage.
Survivors have now claimed the traffickers started to throw migrants, some of whom they said were children, overboard in a bid to lighten the boat's load.
One survivor told Italian newspaper La Stampa: "The traffickers started to throw kids out, they grabbed them by the arm and threw them in the sea."
