More dead bodies have been found in the sea after a sailboat filled with migrants capsized in the Mediterranean off Italy last week, reports Italy's coastguard.
The confirmed death toll is thus written at 34, but many people are still missing and it is feared that more than 60 have perished in total.
In total, around 75 people are reported to have been on board the boat. Only eleven of them have survived after being found at an early stage.
The accident occurred approximately 19 nautical miles from the coast of Calabria. The people on board came from Iran, Syria, and Iraq, according to the UN's migration agency IOM. The boat had left Turkey ten days earlier.
According to Médecins Sans Frontières' information, around 20 of the people on board were children.
