Rome - The death toll from the sinking of a migrant boat off an Italian island carrying about 500 people could well top 200.

Italian officials say more than 114 people -- including several women and four small children -- have drowned and over 200 are still unaccounted for after a boat caught fire and sank off the southern Italian island of Lampedusa.

The 20-meter vessel caught fire after the migrants, mainly from Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia according to media reports, set fire to a blanket after the ship started to take water in order to attract the attention of passing ships.

But the fire soon spread to the rest of the boat, and the ship capsized as migrants moved to avoid the fire.

Divers were still searching for possible survivors of the deadliest accidents over recent months in the Mediterranean Sea crossing, that thousands of African migrants make every year.

So far, 155 people have been rescued.

Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta described the accident as a huge tragedy. He rushed to the scene with Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Angelino Alfano.

Thousands of African migrants try the hazardous Mediterranean crossing to Italy every year to Sicily.

Sicily is the destination for thousands of migrants from Africa, who attempt the dangerous sea crossing. This was the second disaster in a week involving migrants attempting to reach Sicily.

A recent study found some 6 200 migrants had died in southern Italian waters since 1994.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees today expressed shock on the loss of life.

UNHCR said it is actively engaging with countries in the region to provide effective alternatives for people resorting to taking these dangerous journeys so they do not have to risk their lives.

Meanwhile, Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta announced a National Day of Mourning on Friday, 4 October, to honour all those who lost their lives in the terrible tragedy. – SAnews.gov.za-Xinhua-AGI

New York – Visiting Foreign Minister of Iran, Mohammad Javad Zarif, met with the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday afternoon for the third time in two weeks.

During the meeting, the UN chief said presence of the Iranian delegation at the 68th session of the UN General assembly was highly welcomed by participants of the event.

Ban added during his seven years of service as the UN chief, the 68th session was the best comparing to other annual gatherings of the UNGA held in the past.

The UN special envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, and a number of other UN officials were also present in Zarifs meeting with the UN chief, during which the two exchanged views on latest international and regional developments including Iran’s nuclear issue and the Syrian crisis.

It was also stressed in the meeting that the UN should play a key role in resolving West’s nuclear dispute with Iran.

Turning to the issue of Iran’s nuclear talks with the P5+1, Ban urged both sides to find an inventive and quick diplomatic solution to end Wests dispute with Iran over the latter nuclear activities.

The P5+1 is a group of countries, which in 2006 joined the diplomatic efforts with Iran in regard to its nuclear program. The term refers to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, namely United States, Russia, China, United Kingdom, and France.

As for the situation in Syria, Zarif referred to Iran’s efforts to help solve the Syrian crisis through peaceful means.

He reiterated Tehran’s readiness to continue efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the Syrian crisis.

Pointing to the issue of removing chemical weapons in Syria, Zarif stressed the need for disarming all belligerent parties from chemical weapons in that country.

Meanwhile, the UN chief said that Iran could play an important role in resolving the Syrian crisis.

Ban stressed the need for Tehrans presence in any international talks on Syria.

He also called for further cooperation between Iran and the UN in various regional issues. – SAnews.gov.za-IRNA
