The Muslim community of Crotone, Italy, gathers in prayer for the victims of the shipwreck that killed 62 migrants, including 12 children.

The footage shows the moment Imam Bashar Md Abul, and bishop and Vice President of the Italian Episcopal Conference, Francesco Savino, share a long hug. This happened outside a sports centre where coffins for the victims are currently being stored.

According to reports, the boat sank on February 26 after crashing against rocks, but bad weather conditions and overcrowding are believed to have also contributed to the shipwreck.
