World in brief: June 19, 2024
The bodies of some of the 64 migrants missing in the Mediterranean Sea after their ship wrecked off Italy's southern coast are disembarked at the Italian southern port-city of Roccella Ionica, June 19, 2024

MIGRANTS: Italy’s coastguard searched by sea and air today for the more than 60 people, including 20 children, missing after a boat capsized in the Mediterranean earlier this week.

A fishing boat was the first to respond and rescued 12 people, one of whom later died. Doctors Without Borders said that the survivors have suffered both psychological and physical trauma, and “remained very confused.”
