More bodies of refugees and migrants have been recovered from the sea off Syria after a boat capsized on Thursday, raising the death toll to 97 as the Lebanese army said it arrested a suspected smuggler behind one of the deadliest boat disasters in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Most of them were Palestinian refugees fleeing poverty in Lebanon - and trying to get to Italy.
