(ANSA) - Rome, June 5 - A boatload of migrants sank off the
coast of Libya on Wednesday, German migrant rescue NGO SeaWatch
said.
The shipwreck took place around 50 nautical miles north of
Garabulli, the NGO said.
It posed a photo from volunteers showing a semi-deflated
dinghy and several people in the sea.
"Many people in the water, high probability of missing and
drowning deaths," it said.
It said an SOS had been put out, to which two merchant ships
and the Libyan Coast Guard had responded.
The latter was already at the scene, it said.
