The death toll of migrants at “Steccato” in Cutro, in the Crotone area, rises to 33, but it is always a provisional figure, after the fishing boat they were on broke in two. A budget that is certainly destined to worsen. Meanwhile, a group of around fifty live migrants was found on the beach, who were on the same fishing boat on which the victims were travelling. The survivors were rescued and refreshed by 118 and Red Cross personnel.
Migrants, boat breaks into the sea in the Crotone area: at least 33 dead
There are also many children among the victims of the shipwreck of migrants in Calabria. This is what rescuers and investigators are discovering as the hours go by. There are also many women. Most of the corpses are scattered on the surface of the sea, while others are found on the beach.
The approximately fifty survivors found on the beach told the rescuers, in fact, that there were at least 250 on the fishing boat on which they were travelling, which broke in two due to the very rough sea. The hypothesis made by investigators and rescuers is that the victims of the shipwreck are therefore many more than the 33 ascertained so far.
The migrants who died at dawn today in “Steccato” di Cutro, in the Crotone area, were on a boat that was broken in two by the waves, in a situation of very rough seas. The people who were on the boat (it would have been a fishing boat) ended up in the sea and drowned. There are currently thirty confirmed dead, but there are still many bodies to be recovered. The death toll could, therefore, worsen further.
