The coffins of 65 victims of a devastating migrant shipwreck off Italy’s southern coast were laid out Tuesday in a local sports hall, five of them small and white, containing the bodies of the youngest children that died.
STECCATO, Italy – Flower bouquets adorned each coffin in the building in Crotone, while a toy blue car had been laid on the smallest, ready for mourners to pay their respects.
Fourteen children were among those confirmed to have died when their overcrowded boat shattered in a storm, the interior ministry said.It was one of the most tragic incidents in the Central Mediterranean, which tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers cross each year hoping to find a new life in Europe.
Divers are still searching for potentially up to 20 missing people, although it is not yet clear how many were on the boat. Frontex said one of its planes had spotted a “heavily overcrowded boat” heading towards Italy late on Saturday, and had informed the Italian authorities.
