Rescue officials and migrant advocacy organizations reported that the Italian Coast Guard recovered the bodies of 19 migrants and rescued 58 others after their boat broke down while attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe from Libya.

A spokesperson for the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) stated that the victims—18 men and one woman—are believed to have died from hypothermia amid harsh maritime conditions. Three individuals remain missing.

According to officials who spoke to Reuters, the vessel departed from Abu Kammash in western Libya on March 30 and remained stranded at sea for two days. Those on board included migrants from several countries, including Sudan, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, and South Sudan, underscoring the continued risks associated with irregular migration along one of the world’s deadliest sea routes.
