ITALY-MALTA-SOCIAL-IMMIGRATION

A rescue worker emerges from the lower deck of a migrants boat still carrying dead bodies after being towed into Valletta's port in Malta on July 20, 2014 a day after a rescue operation at sea. Italian and Maltese rescuers found 18 bodies on an overcrowded migrant boat yesterday, with Italian officials blaming toxic fumes from the engine and the Maltese military saying there could have been a stampede.Three asylum-seekers were evacuated by Italian coastguards and rushed to hospital. One of them died on the way and two others were in a serious condition, officials said. The boat is estimated to have had 400 people on board and was first spotted by a Danish ship south of the Italian island of Lampedusa in waters between Libya and Malta.
