A migrant boat broke apart off Italy’s southwestern Calabrian coast on Sunday, authorities said, leaving at least 43 dead and triggering a search mission in rough waters.
, traffickers operating in Turkey have charted a new — and much longer — course, bypassing Greek islands and heading instead to Italy’s Calabrian coastline. Of the 12,000 migrants who have made it to Italy so far this year, 678 have landed in Calabria.
“This is the natural outcome of what can happen every single time they leave,” the police official said. “It’s an ongoing miracle that this doesn’t happen every single time, because they use old, unseaworthy boats, manned by unprepared people, and find sea conditions that are almost always unfavorable, because during a week-long journey you will always experience at least 2 days of bad weather.”
