Tragedy Strikes as Boat Capsizes off Italian Coast, Leaving 41 Dead

Forty-one people are presumed dead after a boat capsized near the Italian island of Lampedusa, according to survivors who were rescued by the Italian Coast Guard. The migrants, who had left Tunisia, reported being shipwrecked during poor weather conditions. Only four people survived by clinging to an abandoned motorless boat until their rescue. This incident adds to the growing number of deaths and missing persons in the central Mediterranean, which has become the most dangerous migration route in the world.
