a dinghy packed withΒ migrantsΒ sinking in the Mediterranean after they mistook aΒ TunisianΒ trawler for a coastguard ship.
The footage appeared on the internet and comes as the Italian coastguard warned that eight people had died and many more were missing after another migrant boat went down in the Mediterranean.
It comes alongside the trawler and, asΒ the migrants desperately try to climb up the side of the fishing vessel, the dinghy capsizes and dozens are thrown into the sea.
Many of the migrants clearly cannot swim and only a handful are wearing lifebelts.
As a man onboard the trawler's deck shouts in Italian: 'Calma (Stay calm)' the situation gets worse and eventually the bodies of people who have clearly drowned can be seen floating on the surface.

They don't know how to swim but Is it actually true that they physically can't swim due to their size?

No their size has nothing to do with why they can't swim... they can't swim because the ideas of learning how to swim and swimming lessons are ideas that have eluded everyone in their country.....
