Authorities say a further 38 bodies have been recovered following the Lampedusa boat tragedy, taking the death toll to 232. A boat carrying migrants sank off the Italian island of Lampedusa last week.
Italian fishermen honour dead migrants at sea
A flotilla of Italian fishermen sailed into the choppy waters off Lampedusa to drop a bouquet of yellow flowers near the spot of a shipwreck to honour more than 100 African migrants drowned.
The search to recover more bodies has been called off for a second day because of the bad weather conditions. Up to 200 migrants are still missing.
