11 dead and 200 missing in fresh refugee shipwrecks in Mediterranean
‘At least 11 people have reportedly been killed and 200 more people remain unaccounted for following two separate shipwrecks involving refugees in the central Mediterranean.
The Libyan Red Crescent said on Monday that bodies of 10 women and one child were found on a beach in Zawiya, 50 kilometers (31 miles) west of Tripoli.
Reports say they had been among 132 passengers on board an inflatable craft, which had left Libya early Friday and then overturned hours later after deflating.
The Alexander Maersk, a Danish container ship, picked up 50 survivors of the incident in international waters off the coast of Libya and brought them to Italy.’
