At least eight migrants have died and over 50 are missing at sea off the coast of Libya: a dinghy was wrecked, about 9 kilometers from Castelverde, the Italian name of Gasr Garabulli, 60 kilometers from Tripoli. As France Presse reports, citing a Libyan Navy official, "the eight bodies" recovered so far "are part of a total of 120 or 130 passengers who were on the boat". The survivors testified to what happened: almost 80 were saved by ships operating in the central Mediterranean. A total of 12 rescue operations were coordinated by the Coast Guard operations center in Rome. During the same operations, over 1,650 people were rescued. The migrants were aboard nine dinghies and three small boats.
