Italy’s coastguard said on Sunday it had recovered two bodies and rescued 57 people off the southern island of Lampedusa, amid reports that more than 30 people were missing after two shipwrecks.
More than 2,000 people have arrived in Lampedusa in the past few days after being rescued at sea by Italian patrol boats and NGO groups, as strong winds further complicate the situation around the island.
About 20 people have been stuck since Friday on a cliff after their boat crashed against rocks upon arrival in Lampedusa, with the coastguard unable to reach them via sea or helicopter, local media said
