Reports are suggesting as many as 200 people may be dead following a boat capsizing off the Libyan coast.

Around 400 people were onboard the boat when it overturned while on its way to Italian territory.

Around 150 survivors have been returned to Libya to a detention center near Tripoli.

Word of this comes following reports as many as 50 refugees may be dead after around 20 bodies were discovered in the back of a truck on the Austrian-Hungarian border.
