Italian Coastguard Recovers 10 Bodies After Migrant Boat Capsizes Near Malta
Italian rescuers have recovered 10 bodies following the capsizing of a migrant boat in waters off Malta. The vessel, which departed from Libya with approximately 60 people on board, overturned about 45 nautical miles east-southeast of Malta. According to the Italian coastguard, a fishing boat in the vicinity managed to rescue around 48 individuals alive. The search and rescue operations are ongoing, coordinated by Maltese authorities, after Malta requested assistance. This incident is part of a larger pattern of perilous crossings in the central Mediterranean, where at least 827 people have died this year attempting the journey from North Africa to Italy and Malta, as reported by the UN’s International Organization for Migration.
