Rome: More than 30 people died when a boat carrying migrants capsized. Officials said that more than 40 people have been rescued.
A boat carrying migrants from Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan was arriving in Italy early Sunday morning. Due to the bad weather prevailing in the area at that time, the sea was seen to be rough.
The small boat, which was overloaded with passengers, crashed into a rock while approaching the Italian seaside town of Crotone. More than 100 people have traveled in this boat. Athanchronos news agency reported that around 50 people on board were rescued alive after the boat capsized. 28 bodies have been recovered. More than 30 people are feared to have died in this accident. A spokesman for the Italian fire service said bad weather at sea had made the search difficult.
