As the Italian newspaper La Repubblica writes, a boat with 86 people on board capsized off the coast of Libya. The International Organization for Migration confirmed the news, adding that the vessel had departed from Zowara, Libya. The first alarm, according to the Italian newspaper, was signaled by the Rome Search and Rescue Center two days ago, following a request from the Libyan Coast Guard.
At the same time, two Frontex aircraft reportedly flew over the area from which the alarm had been raised, while the Ocean Viking ship, of the SOS Mediterranée network of humanitarian organizations, was in the same spot, which rescued another 25 migrants who were on another ship. .
La Repubblica writes that the Ocean Viking crew wanted to take part in the search for the vessel, but were ordered to return to Italy immediately.
“Meanwhile, the inflatable dinghy capsized and the 25 survivors were taken back to Libya by tug,” the Rome newspaper explained.
