Drama last night in the waters off Lampedusa.

A 6-metre small boat sank with 36 people on board: 32 were saved by the Coast Guard patrol boat CP327.

The other 4 are missing: they are two men and two children aged 6 years and 6 months , two brothers whose parents were rescued and managed to land on Lampedusa.

Of the 32 rescued, four were taken to hospital immediately after landing at the Favarolo pier: because of hypothermia or because they drank sea water.
