A woman whose uncle is trapped aboard a blazing Italian ferry says she could hear "screaming and crying" when she spoke to him on the phone.

More than 160 people are still awaiting rescue on the Italian ferry, which is burning on the Adriatic Sea.

Greek officials said 316 of the 478 people on board had been evacuated by early Monday.

Vasiliki Papadopoulou said her uncle was trying to be "strong" but she was "frightened" for him.
