Italian coast guard and navy vessels yesterday (March 11, 2023) rescued migrants toward shore , while elsewhere in the Mediterranean Sea thousands of migrants overflowed from a shelter on a tiny tourist island, the Reddit website reports.
A 94-meter-long coast guard vessel took 584 migrants aboard , while two smaller coast guard motorboats took on 379 and then transferred them to an Italian naval vessel , which was headed to Augusta, a port in eastern Sicily, as migrant shelters in Calabria quickly filled up.
Eighty passengers survived the shipwreck, but many more were reported missing and are presumed dead.
