At least seven migrants and asylum seekers found dead by Italian coast guard, while attempting the perilous Mediterranean crossing from Libya in a boat carrying 280 people in cold weather
At least seven migrants and asylum seekers have died while attempting the perilous Mediterranean crossing from Libya in a boat carrying 280 people in cold weather.
Two coast guard boats conducted the rescue while a boat from Italy's financial police stood by during "an operation made more complex by the rough sea conditions," the coast guard said. After undergoing coronavirus tests, the survivors were split between the health centre and the heavily overcrowded reception centre on the tiny island of Lampedusa.While some 34,000 migrants arrived in Italy in 2020, that figure almost doubled to 64,500 people in 2021.
