Migrant shipwreck off Italy leaves dozens dead – BBC News


Forty-one migrants have died in a shipwreck off the Italian island of Lampedusa, survivors told local media.

A group of four people who survived the disaster told rescuers that they were on a boat that had set off from Sfax in Tunisia, and sank on its way to Italy.

The survivors – three men and a woman – told rescuers that they were on a boat carrying 45 people, including three children.

More than 1,800 people have lost their lives so far this year in the crossing from North Africa to Europe.Please subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
