Punt shipwrecked, 44 migrants saved, one missing boy saved - Breaking news. 44 migrants, including 11 women and 3 minors, were rescued during the night off the coast of Lampedusa after the small boat they were traveling on sank.

The 7 meter iron boat, which set sail from Sfax in Tunisia, suddenly sank and the castaways remained clinging to the inner tubes for about 10 minutes. The NGO ship "Mare Go" intervened and hoisted them on board, which then transferred them onto a coast guard patrol boat.
