The toll from an Italy-bound migrant
shipwreck off the Libyan port of Zuara has risen to 31 and could
go higher, Coast Guard sources said Wednesday. Thirty of the 31
bodies have been transferred to the ship Fenix and the remaining
one onto the ship Fiorillo, as a search continued in the area.
The Coast Guard is coordinating 14 ships across the central
Mediterranean where fine weather has helped make migrant traffic
"intense", the sources said.
