It had been carrying people from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia, with survivors claiming"140 to 150 people had been aboard". Danilo Maida, a spokesman for the firefighters in the Calabria region, said firefighters are still looking for more survivors at sea, but conditions are harsh, which is making the search difficult.The Coast Guard of Reggio said it is coordinating search and rescue activities at sea and has sent two patrol boats and a helicopter from the Catania Aircraft Base to look for survivors.
"The Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expresses her deep sorrow for the many human lives cut short by human traffickers," a statement from her office said.
