At least 27 migrants were killed after two boats overturned when they tried to move the Mediterranean from Libya to Italy.
About 60 survivors were rescued from the seas on the island of Lampedus, and the search for others is ongoing.
This year, more than 700 people were killed by trying to cross the Central Mediterranean, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR reports.
Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni offered the victims of “deep condolences”. The UNHCR press secretary said the incident was felt “deep tight”.
More than 90 people were aboard two boats before they overturned, a press secretary of the UN International Organization (Mom) said.
A Somali woman on board one of the courts gave a painful account in the Roman daily newspaper La Repubblica to lose an annual daughter and husband.
“The whole hell crashed,” she said. “I never saw them again, my little girl slipped, I lost them both.”
What made the two courts have not yet been confirmed.
However, the survivors suggested La Repubblica that when the first boat overturned, its passengers were forced to get into the second vessel, which also overturned.
“We went on two boats, but one was thrown, so we all got up on board one of them. But then the other also started taking water,” one said.
The Italian Prime Minister Meloni said in a statement: “When such a tragedy is happening today, with the death of dozens in the waters of the Mediterranean, we have a strong sense of disappointment and compassion.
“And we contemplate the inhuman cynicism with which these ominous trips are organized.”
On the island of Lampedus is a reception migration reception, which is often overflowing with difficult living conditions. He welcomes tens of thousands of migrants who have been experiencing a dangerous Mediterranean route every year.
Those who make a journey often travel in poorly restrained and crowded vessels.
At least 25,000 people were missing or killed, trying to cross the Central Mediterranean since 2014, Mam reports.
