Seven migrants were rescued, but at least 20 are missing after their boat sank en route to Italy from Libya, the mayor of the Italian island of Lampedusa said yesterday.
Amongst those saved was an 8-year-old Syrian boy, hoping to join his father who lives in Germany.
He was accompanied by his mother on the dangerous trip, but she has not been seen since the boat sank.
Survivors, who were brought to Lampedusa, said the missing included five women and three children. END
