Italy's maritime search and rescue service saved 3,500 migrants and found 19 corpses in the Mediterranean Sea since Friday as thousands attempted to cross to Europe by boat over the weekend, the Italian navy said, according to Reuters.
The Italian ship Sirio recovered 18 corpses and 73 survivors from a raft, the navy said on Twitter on Sunday, after a frigate picked up one corpse along with 1372 survivors on Friday night.
The deaths were reported shortly after a boat carrying up to 200 migrants sank one kilometre from the Libyan coast on Friday, with most of its passengers feared drowned.
