Other 14 bodies victims of shipwreck of a sailing boat which occurred on Tuesday about 120 miles from the Calabrian coast were recovered by the Dattilo and Corsi ships of the Coast Guard. A total of 34 bodies were found, including those of 8 children. In the area, under the coordination of the Coast Guard, the p42 “Manta” aircraft of the Coast Guard operated, as well as a p72 aircraft of the Navy and air assets of Frontex.
The 11 survivors they spoke of “66 missing people, including at least 26 children, even a few months old,” he wrote on X Doctors Without Borders in recent days. They reported being at the mercy of the waves for several days and seeing boats passing by that did not stop to provide assistance. In the next few days they will be interviewed by investigators to understand the dynamics of the disaster. The aunt of a 10-year-old girl who survived, Nalina, arrived in Roccella Ionica yesterday from Sweden. Father, mother and two brothers are missing. The little girl’s physical condition is improving, confirmed by the head of the pediatrics department Antonio Musolino. Once discharged, net of bureaucratic procedures – the Iraqi ambassador to Italy has also arrived in Locride – she will most likely be entrusted to her young uncles.
Meanwhile, other European countries also arrived at the Locri morgue family members of many migrants who hope it will be possible to identify the bodies by making their DNA available.
