More than 100 feared dead after Italy migrant boat shipwreck – BBC News


Over 60 migrants, including children, have died and dozens more are feared missing after their boat sank in rough seas off southern Italy. 

The vessel broke apart while trying to land near Crotone on Sunday. Migrants from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Iran were on board. 

A baby was among the dead, Italian officials said. The coastguard said 80 people had been found alive, "including some who managed to reach the shore after the sinking". 

The exact number of people who were on the boat, which had sailed from Turkey several days ago, is not clear.
