Italian authorities have arrested two suspected human traffickers thought to have been involved inthe case of a migrant vessel that capsized in the Mediterranean on Saturday, killing more than 800 migrants.
The Guardian reportsthat the men in custody are allegedly the captain, a Tunisian national, and a crew member of the ship, a Syrian national, who now face charges of reckless homicide.
The survivors of the wreck arrived in Catania, Sicily, late last night, at which point the two men were taken into custody.Red Cross tents and other volunteers awaited the other survivors.
Kate Bond, a writer for theUN Refugee Agency, said: “One survivor told UNHCR staff that there were children aboard the boat. So far, none of them have been found, although search-and-rescue operations at the site continue.”
