European Union officials gathered in Luxembourg on Monday to discuss the sinking of a crowded boat in the Mediterranean Sea. The boat was carrying hundreds of people hoping to immigrate to Europe. It sank over the weekend off the coast of Libya. About 700 people may have drowned. Late Sunday, officials said just 28 people had been found alive. Rescue workers say most of the missing appeared to have been trapped in the wreckage at the bottom of the sea.

On Monday, crews rescued Syrian migrants from another boat off the coast of Sicily. Thirteen children were among the 98 migrants. Their boat had set sail from Turkey.
