The migrant boat that sank off southern Italy on Sunday, might have led to the death of over a 100 migrants. The official death toll from the tragedy stands at 64, which includes 12 children, among whom was also a baby. The migrant boat broke apart just as it was trying to land near Crotone on Sunday. The body of a man was pulled out of the sea on Tuesday, raising the death toll to at least 64.
"We will carry on searching the surface of the sea until we are certain that we have found everyone," said Rocco Mortato, a member of the underwater diving team of the fire brigade.
