Survivors of a boat disaster in the Mediterranean have been arriving back on dry land in Sicily.

It's thought around 200 people drowned when their overcrowded fishing vessel capsized a few miles north of Libya.

The Irish Naval vessel LE Niamh rescued more than 360, including 13 children, with most trying to flee to Europe from Syria's civil war.

Lieutenant Commander Daniel Wall helped co-ordinate the rescue:

Will Turner is emergency coordinator on board the Medicines Sans Frontier ship My Phoenix that assisted in the rescue.

He has criticised the response of European leaders - he says it underscores the lack of adequate search and rescue operations in the area:
