Mediterranean migrants: Hundreds feared dead after boat capsizes

hundreds are feared to have drowned when a boat in the Mediterranean capsized and was suspecting to have been carrying up to 700 migrants only 28 migrants have been rescued and 24 bodies have been discovered so that is 648 people still un accounted for a quote from Matteo Renzi couldn't verify the ammount of deaths but it is a 'dramtic ammount' but putting all of this in to context there has been another 900 people dieing when going across the Mediterranean.

This is a sad waste of life but what i am wondering is where has the news coverage of theses events on t.v. in newspapers or anywhere as it seems like a common accourance and shouldn't the surrounding governments be putting more strict sailing laws or standers to stop something like this happening
