30 Migrants Missing in Shipwreck Off LibyaAerial view shows a packed migrant boat en route from Libya in the central Mediterranean Sea in this handout image on March 11, 2023. The tragedy comes just weeks after a Feb. 26 shipwreck near the southern region of Calabria, in which at least 79 died. Alarm Phone, a charity that picks up calls from migrant vessels in distress, assumed the 30 people were dead. Rome then requested merchant ships in the area to join the rescue efforts. However, the migrant vessel capsized during an attempt to transfer the people on to the “FROLAND” merchant ship on Sunday morning, it said.
