European Union foreign ministers gathered in Luxembourg on Monday under pressure to produce more than words after at least 700 refugees from Africa died in a shipwreck off the coast of Libya. Hundreds of kilometers (miles) to the east of the Italian shore, another vessel carrying dozens of migrants ran aground off the Greek island of Rhodes. Greek coast guards said at least three people were killed. Europe is struggling for a policy that will respond more humanly to the exodus of victims from Africa and Asia without encouraging more to leave.
