(The date of the shipwreck is not certain) Something must have happened beyond the Mediterranean. Despite the Italian closure and despite the winter, the boats have returned to sail towards our coasts. In addition to the shipwreck that affected 117 people (18/01/2019), the UNHCR reports another shipwreck in which 53 people are said to have died in the Mediterranean. The tragedy would have occurred in the Alboran Sea, in the western Mediterranean. "It has been reported that a survivor, after being at the mercy of the waves for more than 24 hours, was rescued by a fishing boat and is receiving medical treatment in Morocco."
