A desperate journey turned tragic this week as dozens of migrants are feared dead after their overcrowded rubber dinghy sank in the central Mediterranean. The Italian Coast Guard has managed to recover six bodies so far, and up to 40 more people are still missing, according to the UN refugee agency.
The boat, which had set off from Sfax in Tunisia on Monday, was carrying 56 people. Survivors say the dinghy started to deflate just hours after departure. Ten people, including four women, were rescued and brought to the southern Italian island of Lampedusa on Tuesday, reported the Express.
