STORYLINE:
An Italian coast guard ship headed toward Sicily on Monday with 28 survivors of what could be the Mediterranean's deadliest migrant tragedy, as European Union foreign ministers gathered for an emergency meeting in Luxembourg on the growing crisis as migrants flee instability in Libya at unprecedented rates.
One survivor, identified as a 32-year-old Bangladeshi, has put the number of people on board the smugglers' boat when it capsized near the Libyan coast at 950.
Earlier on Monday, the Italian coast guard ship Gregoretti brought the bodies of 24 victims to Malta, where the dead will be buried.
All 24 were adult men, according to the Maltese Army.
Journalists and volunteers, including a group of former migrants, gathered in the port of Catania, Sicily, as they waited for the boat bringing the survivors.
Fighting in Libya has escalated to its worst levels since the 2011 civil war that ended with the overthrow and killing of long time dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
Rebel groups that fought against him kept their weapons and militias mushroomed in number.
The country now has rival governments - the internationally recognised one in the eastern city of Tobruk, and an Islamist-backed one in the capital, Tripoli.
The two sides have been negotiating in Morocco to end the fighting.
Malta and Italy are closest to the Libyan coast, and have received the brunt of a migrant tide that carried 219,000 people from Africa to Europe last year.
Some 3,500 died or went missing along the way, United Nations Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said in a statement Sunday.
