THE wailing of survivors and other family members of dozens of people who died in a shipwreck off Italy’s southern coast resounded through a sports complex yesterday as public viewing of rows of closed coffins began.

Meanwhile, the search by air and sea to spot any of the many believed still to be missing continued for a fourth day. Italian state TV and the LaPresse news agency said that a child’s body was the latest of three corpses to be recovered, raising the confirmed death toll to 67.

The wooden boat, crammed with passengers who paid human traffickers for the voyage from Turkey, broke apart in rough water just off a beach in Calabria before dawn on Sunday.
