On Monday, two coast guard vessels searched the seas north to south off Steccato di Cutro while a helicopter flew overhead and a four-wheel vehicle patrolled the beach. A strong wind whipped the seas that still churned up splinters of the boat, gas tanks, food containers and shoes. Italy is a prime destination for migrant smugglers, especially for traffickers launching boats from Libyan shores, but also from Turkey. According to U.N. figures, arrivals from the Turkish route accounted for 15% of the 105,000 migrants who arrived on Italian shores last year, with nearly half of those fleeing from Afghanistan.Article content

This photo obtained from Italian news agency Ansa, taken on February 26, 2023 shows bags containing the bodies of deceased migrants in Steccato di Cutro, south of Crotone, after their boat sank off Italy’s southern Calabria region.The Frontex plane left the scene at 11:11 p.m. because of a fuel shortage, according to the agency, which also confirmed to The Associated Press that the Italian patrol boats had to turn back because of rough weather conditions.

“It was impossible to conduct any possible maneuver to get close or to carry out a rescue due to the sea conditions,” Piatedosi told reporters late Sunday. “We always have to consider that rescues carried out by institutional rescue teams must avoid putting at risk the lives of the rescuers while they are trying to rescue others.”Article content

“The thing that struck me the most was their silence,” he said. “The terror in their eyes and the fact that they were mute. Silent.”
