Two babies among 53 people dead or missing after boat capsizes off Libya Shipwreck brings number people reported dead or missing on Central Mediterranean route this year to at least 484.

This is a breaking news story.

Today’s NYT investigation into what really went on after the killing of Renee Good is shocking.
