The Italian coastguard carried out a daring rescue operation off the coast of Lampedusa, saving 91 migrants from a drifting boat in the Mediterranean Sea. On Sunday, the rescue team responded swiftly to distress signals and managed to bring the majority of the passengers to safety.
Tragic Discovery Onboard
While rescuing the migrants, authorities found two men deceased below deck. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed, but such journeys across the Mediterranean often involve perilous conditions, including overcrowding and lack of proper ventilation. 
Continuing Migrant Crisis in the Mediterranean
Italy’s southern island, Lampedusa, remains a primary entry point for migrants trying to reach Europe. The Italian coastguard continues to play a crucial role in search and rescue missions, risking their lives to save others from dangerous sea crossings. These incidents highlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the urgent need for safe migration routes.
