More bodies recovered after migrant-boat disaster

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 20 - The Italian Coast Guard's Dattilo ship on Thursday recovered nine more bodies in the Ionian Sea after Monday's shipwreck about a hundred kilometres off the Calabrian coast of a sailing boat that had set sail eight days earlier from Turkey and which left some 60 people missing, including 26 children, according to the 11 survivors.
    Eight other bodies had been recovered over the last few days.
    It was the second worst recent migrant disaster in Italy after the February 2023 shipwreck at Cutro in Calabria in which at least 94 migrants including 35 children died. (ANSA).
