Many of the 47 migrants aboard a boat
drifting off Libya Sunday are missing after ending up in the
water after the boat capsized, the Mediterranea Saving Humans
NGO said.
The group tweeted that "according to various sources", the boat
sank and many of the 47 aboard died, without any intervention by
navy ships and after observation by merchant vessels.
Alaram Phone tweeted: "We are in shock. According to different
sources, dozens of people from this boat in distress have
drowned. We first alerted authorities at 2:28h CET on 11 March,
emphasising the urgent distress situation. The Italian
authorities knowingly delayed rescue and let them die."
There has not been official confirmation of the shipwreck.
