The Associated Press reports that as many as 900 migrants from Libya may have drowned on their way to Italy.

The EU has been under increasing criticism for lagging in its response to the crisis, with two shipwrecks believed to have taken the lives of as many as 1,300 migrants in the past week. Some 400 people are believed to have drowned in another capsizing on April 13.

News and images of the survivors and the crisis made many front pages today, including The Washington Post and The New York Times. Here are seven more, via Kiosko and Newseum:
