"I renew my entire appeal so that similar tragedies do not happen again, human traffickers are stopped".
"
May journeys of hope never turn into journeys of death again
".
"The clear waters of the Mediterranean are no longer bloodied by such dramatic incidents".
"May the Lord give us the strength to understand and to cry", the Pope said at the Angelus.
THE SEARCH FOR THE MISSING
This morning the fire brigade resumed the search at sea for other bodies of the victims of the shipwreck of the boat loaded with migrants that occurred last Sunday in Steccato di Cutro.
The non-stop searches on the beach also embrace the entire Crotone coast, and numerous volunteers collaborate on it.
For searches at sea, a helicopter, a dinghy and two jet skis are used.
The patrol activity will continue to the bitter end, unless otherwise provided by the Prefecture of Crotone, which coordinates the searches in which units of the Crotone Coast Guard participate.
After the discovery yesterday of the bodies of two children, there are currently 70 confirmed victims of the shipwreck. Between 30 and 50 people are missing.
