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.

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