In Northern Cyprus, families wait for news of passengers from sunk ferry
Seven people have died after a passenger boat capsized in Northern Cyprus. 267 people were on board and 23 are still missing. The boat capsized just a few miles off Kyrenia Port in northern Cyprus - a territory occupied by Turkey but not internationally recognised. The ferry has now completely sunk - and the company that operates it says it is "deeply saddened by the tragic accident". It says a hotline has been set up to provide passengers' relatives with information.
