Dinghy sinks off the coast of Libya, 61 migrants missing
The Ocean Viking ship was in the area, but it had to leave
A dinghy with 86 migrants on board sank off the coast of Libya: 61 are missing. The survivors, 25, were disembarked in Tripoli by the tugboat Vos Triton. This was reported on X (the former Twitter) by Radio Radicale journalist Sergio Scandura, citing an IOM source.
The migrants were all of sub-Saharan origin.
Two days ago, Scandura explains, a distress notice was issued by IMRCC of Rome on behalf of the Libyan Coast Guard relating to a dinghy that left Libya. At the site of the shipwreck there had been an overflight of two Frontex aircraft: the dinghy was already adrift.
Ocean Viking was present in that area yesterday, then forced to leave with 26 migrants on board to comply with the assignment of the port of Livorno by the Italian authorities. The NGO ship then had to repair due to bad weather in the harbor of Sciacca, Sicily.
