CRI听力:Operational Error and Overcrowding Cause Migrant Ship Disaster
Italian authorities say overcrowding and captain-error are the main factors behind the capsizing of a migrant boat over the weekend off the northern coast of Libya which has left some 800 people dead.
Italian authorities say they've learned the boat went down after a collision with a container ship.
The 27-year-old captain of the boat is one of the few survivors of the wreck.
He's currently being held by Italian authorities.
Meanwhile, more than 500 migrants have been taken ashore by Italian authorities after being rescued near the port of Solerno.
Alfredo Anzalone, a police chief, talks about the rescue effort.
"The situation is quiet and calm. They are disembarking. They will receive sanitary and humanitarian assistance, then they will be identified and transferred to migrants centres."
The International Organization for Migration estimates some 17-hundred people have died so far this year while trying to make the treacherous journey from north Africa to European territory.
