Over 700 EU-bound migrants, including 40 children feared drowned in the Mediterranean in three days

More than 700 migrants are feared to have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea in the last few days as they tried to reach Europe in smuggling boats, according to the U.N. refugee agency. One of the victims is believed to have been a migrant woman who was decapitated after a rope tying two boats together was cut by a trafficker, creating a deadly whiplash effect.
