'Genocide' in the Mediterranean: ANOTHER migrant ship tragedy on Europe's shores as packed boat washes up on Greek island - just hours after 900 died 'like rats in cages' off coast of Libya

• Revealed: 30 Ethiopian Christians beheaded and shot on the sands in barbaric ISIS video were 'migrants on their way to Europe'
• Christian refugees formed human chain to avoid being thrown into sea by Muslim migrants 

There were warnings of a 'genocide' in the Mediterranean today after nearly 1,000 migrants were feared dead in three separate boat disasters in just 24 hours. In one of the worst maritime tragedies since the Second World War, more than 900 mainly African migrants are thought to have died when a fishing boat capsized off Libya yesterday. Survivors claimed up to 300 people including women and children 'drowned like rats in cages' after being locked in the hold by callous traffickers. Pictured left are some of the body bags being collected after the tragedy. This morning, at least three migrants were killed when a vessel that left Turkey ran aground metres from the Greek holiday island of Rhodes (right), causing dozens of those on board to fall into the sea.
