(Reuters) - The European Union proposed doubling the size of its
Mediterranean search and rescue operations on Monday, as the first bodies
were brought ashore of some 900 people feared killed in the deadliest
shipwreck while trying to reach Europe.
.
Three other rescue operations were underway on Monday to save hundreds
more migrants in peril on overloaded vessels making the journey from the
north coast of Africa to Europe.
.
The mass deaths have caused shock in Europe, where a decision to scale
back naval operations last year seems to have increased the risks for
migrants without reducing their numbers.
.
"The situation in the Mediterranean is dramatic. It cannot continue like
this," said European Council President Donald Tusk, calling an
extraordinary summit of EU leaders for Thursday to plan how to stop human
traffickers and boost rescue efforts.
.
Malta's Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said as many as 900 people may have
died in Sunday's disaster off the coast of Libya when a large boat
capsized. That is the highest death toll in modern times among migrants,
who are trafficked in the tens of thousands in rickety vessels across the
Mediterranean.

"SLAVERY"
.
Italy and Malta were working to rescue another two migrant boats with
around 400 people off the coast of Libya on Monday. Hundreds of kilometers
(miles) to the east, coast guards were struggling to save scores of
migrants from another vessel destroyed after running aground off the Greek
island of Rhodes.
.
Greek coast guards said at least three people were killed there.
Television pictures showed survivors clinging to floating debris while
rescuers pulled them from the waves.
.
Italy's Prime Minister Matteo Renzi compared the smuggling of migrants
across the Mediterranean to the African slave trade of centuries ago.
"When we say we are in the presence of slavery we are not using the word
just for effect," he said.
