8 migrants dead in dinghy sinking

At least 25 people are feared to have drowned off Libya after a dinghy, possibly carrying some 150 migrants, ran into trouble, two rescue organizations said on Saturday. “Rubber dinghy sunk north of Tripoli. At least 25 people died in the incident, exact numbers still unclear. Italian navy on the scene,” the German charity Sea Watch said on Twitter. The Italian Coast Guard said 85 people had been rescued from the sinking vessel, and eight bodies recovered so far.
