Forty-one migrants died in a shipwreck last week in the central Mediterranean.
The Ansa news agency reported on Wednesday, citing accounts from survivors who have just reached the Italian island of Lampedusa.

Ansa said four people who survived the shipwreck told rescuers that they were on a boat carrying 45 people, including three children.
The boat set off on Thursday morning from Tunisia’s Sfax, a hot spot in the migration crisis, but capsized and sank after a few hours, the survivors were quoted as saying.
