Dozen of children among 50 migrants killed in new shipwreck off Sicily

Around 50 migrants, including a dozen children, died Friday when their boat sank between Malta and Sicily, the Italian news agency Ansa reported. The agency said 150 of the boat’s passengers were rescued by a Maltese ship and another 50 by the Italian navy, a week after a similar incident off the Italian island of Lampedusa killed more than 300 refugees. THIS IS REALLY SAD. MAY THE SOULS OF THE DEPARTED REST IN PEACE . AMEN
