Migrants, double tragedy in the Mediterranean: dozens dead and missing off the coast of Calabria and Lampedusa
Double migrant tragedy in the Mediterranean. About fifty people are missing due to the capsizing, about one hundred miles from the coast of Calabria, of the sailing boat on which they were travelling. The ship Nadir instead rescued 51 migrants aboard a wooden boat in difficulty off the coast of Libya and south of Lampedusa. “The rescue came too late for 10 people”, says the NGO ResQship. A merchant vessel arrived to rescue the boat that capsized off the coast of Calabria, saving the 12 survivors, including a pregnant woman, on a coast guard unit, which then landed in Roccella Ionica. The body of a woman who died after falling into the sea was also transferred to the port. The refugees traveling on board the boat had left from a port in Türkiye.
