Nine suspected people smugglers have been arrested in connection with a boat that capsized off the Greek coast on Wednesday.
The boat was packed with hundreds of migrants and refugees.
Rescuers have spent a second day searching for survivors. Some of those rescued say as many as 100 children were in the hold of the boat.
Al Jazeera’s John Psaropoulos reports from Kalamata, Greece.
