Death toll from migrant shipwreck off southern Italy climbs to 63
ATHENS (AA) – The death toll from the shipwreck off southern Italy of a wooden boat carrying migrants climbed to 63, local media reported Monday.
Search and rescue teams recovered four more bodies, including one of a 14-year-old girl, said the state-run ANSA news agency.
Dozens of people who are still missing could already be dead, it noted, adding many of the victims were women and children.
Citing the Italian Coast Guard, it said at least 80 migrants survived the shipwreck, which occurred Sunday after the boat crashed against rocks off the coast of Italy’s southern Calabria region.
According to some reports, the dead include more than two dozen Pakistanis.
