a dinghy packed with migrants sinking in the Mediterranean after they mistook a Tunisian 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, as 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.

After a shocking incident at the port of Piraeus, the Prosecutor's Office in Piraeus has ordered the arrest of the deck officer and the captain of the vessel, Blue Horizon.
The decision comes in the wake of the tragic death of a 36-year-old man who, in his attempt to catch the departing ship, fell in the sea and drowned.
Videos circulating on social media platforms shed light on the desperate struggle of the 36-year-old man as he attempted to board the ship, engaging in a dispute with individuals from the ship's crew.
Eyewitnesses aboard the F/B ELYROS, which was docked next to the Blue Horizon at the port of Piraeus, observed the harrowing incident firsthand.
News website Protothema.gr reached out to Froso Tetrandonaki, a passenger on the “ELYROS” who was on the deck of the ship at the time of the incident.
“Many people were on the ELYROS deck for a smoke and witnessed the incident clearly. She saw the crew members of the ‘Blue Horizon' pushing the man into the sea. They pushed him three or four times before the ship's gangway was raised,” Tetrandonaki said.
The witness said that approximately 10 minutes after the man fell into the sea, she saw his lifeless body floating in the water.
“At that moment, I called the Coast Guard and made an anonymous report about the incident. ‘They pushed the man into the sea, and he drowned. They killed him,' were the words I conveyed to the authorities,” she said, visibly shaken. She noted that the man's body remained afloat for about 30 minutes before it was recovered.

Their deaths were slow and torturous. And most importantly she jumped into hazardous conditions without realizing there was nothing to pull yourself out of the violent sea, nothing but wet rocks and the water, the sea is literally folding over itself causing a suction like effect, constantly pulling their body under. This is one miserable way to die.
