Refugee Boat Carrying Hundreds Capsizes Off Libya Coast by flexflex: 8:34am On May 26, 2016
As migrants crisis continues at least five refugees reportedly died and hundreds rescued from a capsizing boat off the Libyan coast.

At least five die as Italian navy rescues "562 people", taking the total transferred to Italy this year to about 40,000.

Images released by the Italian navy have captured the moment a heavily overcrowded boat overturned in a shipwreck off Libya which left at least five people dead.

The blue fishing vessel, its deck heaving with people, tipped over on Wednesday after the refugees and migrants rushed to one side on spotting a rescue ship.

Those on the boat, many of them men, some already wearing orange life jackets as a precaution, were captured in rare photographs as they clung to the boat's rails or each other, or dropped into the sea.

Some are seen hanging on to the starboard edge by their fingertips as the trawler rolls, while others try to balance on the rim.
