Coastguard boats and helicopters are searching the sea off the Italian island of Lampedusa for hundreds of missing people, a day after a boat carrying African migrants sank killing at least 127.
The mayor of Lampedusa, Giusy Nicolini, said the death toll from the sinking on Thursday was likely to rise.
