Mohammad, who had travelled from Italy, was also visibly moved. He said his brother had been in Libya for almost two years before making the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean, according to a Reuters report. At least 78 people have died in the shipwreck but Greek police believe as many as 500 are missing, with witness accounts that up to 100 children were travelling in the ship’s hold.
