Coast Guard boat rescued 57 people, 30 missing, two dead
The 'CP 319' was battling high waves as they tried to pull migrants from choppy waters on July 5, 2023. Around 57 people were rescued off the island of Lampedusa. The SAR operations were complex after two boats, which had probably set off from the port city of Sfax, had sunk. One vessel was carrying 48 people and the other was carrying 42. One woman and her one year old child on board one of the boats lost their lives. Around 30 people remained missing as of Aug 6.
