EU to deepen cooperation on Mediterranean migrant crisis

The European Union has responded to the growing migrant crisis in the Mediterranean sea by calling a summit of its 28 leaders.

At least 700 people drowned in a single incident over the weekend prompting widespread criticism from humanitarian groups of the lack of a unified, European search and rescue mission.

An Italian operation ended in November 2014 and since then the number of people making the treacherous journey has increased dramatically.

Last year 175 thousand people are known to have made the journey and over 3500 died.

At a meeting of the EU's foreign and interior ministers, the European Union's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini (fer-er-ee-ka mog-er-ee-nee) says she saw a new level of cooperation forming.
