11 Refugees Drown Off Libyan Coast as U.N. Renews Calls for Urgent Action to Prevent More Deaths
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.N. said at least 11 refugees drowned after a rubber dinghy
capsized off the coast of Libya Sunday. The U.N. is calling for urgent
action to stop the mounting deaths in the Central Mediterranean, which
has been called the most dangerous migration route in the world.
Meanwhile, over 800 refugees, including over 100 unaccompanied children,
were brought to Italy over the weekend after being rescued at sea.
