Dozens of migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean into Europe were killed when their boat was wrecked in southern Italy

Emergency services say it happened near a seaside resort area in the Calabria region.

It’s believed that about 120 were aboard the boat when it ran aground.

Hazardous conditions on the sea had been hampering search and rescue efforts.

Local media reported that dozens of bodies were found washed ashore.

The boat is said to have been carrying migrants from Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

The Mediterranean crossing into Italy is one of the world’s most dangerous migration routes.

Italy’s interior minister said it was “essential” to stop the sea crossings, which give an illusion of “a better life in Europe,” enrich human traffickers, and cause tragedies like this accident.
