Just In - Over 240 Migrants Drown In Two shipwreck in the Mediterranean (Photos)

More than 240 migrants have drowned when two overcrowded rubber dinghies capsize in the Mediterranean.



Both of the overcrowded rubber dinghies
overturned in heavy seas about 25 miles off
the coast of Libya killing most of those on
board, survivors said.

It comes as dramatic pictures emerged of
two rescue missions off Libya today, with
close to 180 people pulled to safety.
Desperate refugees could be seen leaping
into the water as rescue ships arrived, and
then frantically trying to clamber back on board.
