En Le Castella, donde una fortaleza del siglo XV domina la costa, un periodista de AFP asistió a las operaciones de los guardacostas que recuperaron el cuerpo de una mujer, de unos veinte años.

Responsables locales indicaron que la búsqueda continúa por unos 20 posibles desaparecidos, aunque los supervivientes han dado versiones diferentes sobre cuántas personas se encontraban en el barco.

La ONG italiana Save the Children indicó en Twitter que se hizo cargo de supervivientes oriundos de Afganistán, Pakistán, Somalia y Siria, entre ellos una decenas de menores que viajaban con sus familias. “Hay muchos menores desaparecidos”, agregó.

La embarcación había partido de Esmirna en Turquía la semana pasada, y tres de las personas responsables de traficar migrantes ilegales ya fueron detenidos, mientras que la policía busca a un cuarto sospechoso, informaron este lunes los medios italianos.
