The tragedy of the sea continues to hit the Italian coasts, with a new shipwreck off the coast of Lampedusa. The patrol boats of the Coast Guard and the Guardia di Finanza carried out a decisive intervention, disembarking ten survivors in Lampedusa and recovering six bodies. This episode highlights once again the dramatic situation of migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean in search of a better life.
Rescue of the survivors
The rescue operations began when the patrol boats spotted a semi-sunken dinghy near the islet of Lampione. On board the dinghy were six men and four women, all in precarious conditions. After the rescue, the survivors were transported to the Favarolo dock, where two of them were immediately taken to the Polyclinic to receive the necessary care. However, these two castaways, after medical checks, were also taken to the Lampedusa hotspot, where they will be identified and assisted.
The recovery of the bodies
During the rescue operations, the military also recovered six bodies, all of them young men. The bodies were taken to the mortuary of the local cemetery, awaiting identification. This tragic event highlights the urgency of addressing the migration crisis in the Mediterranean, where every day thousands of people risk their lives trying to reach Europe. Local authorities and humanitarian organizations are doing their best to provide assistance to the survivors and to honor the memory of the victims.
