【新唐人2015年08月06日讯】1艘载有400─600人的渔船，6日试图横渡地中海，不幸在利比亚外海翻覆，目前已知25死，大量偷渡客失踪。
综合媒体报导，意大利西西里的海岸防卫队接获讯号，这艘满载偷渡客的船只在利比亚外海约15海里处遇难。
报导说，意大利海岸防卫队派出2艘救难船驶往出事地点，但因船上人员为了尽快登上救难船，而冲向一侧，使得船身重心不稳而翻覆。
海岸防卫队发言人马利尼（Filippo Marini）说，最初报导显示，船上载有400─600人，目前已知至少360人获救，并发现25具尸体。

At 8 am Irish time, the LÉ NIAMH was tasked by the Italian Marine Rescue Co-Ordination Centre (MRCC) to come to the assistance of a fishing vessel 110 kilometres north-west of Tripoli with an estimated 600 persons on board. The LÉ NIAMH arrived on scene at 11.45 am and deployed two rhibs (rigid hull inflatable boats) either side of the vessel as per standard operating procedure, however the vessel capsized. The LÉ NIAMH immediately deployed all available assets including rhibs and life rafts. The Italian vessel the MIMBELLI sent a helicopter to the scene to deploy additional life rafts and two further vessels, the Italian SIRIO and Médicins Sans Frontiére DIGNITY 1 are on site assisting with the efforts. It can now be confirmed that 367 rescued people are on board (342 male, 12 female and 13 children) the LÉ NIAMH and 25 bodies have also been recovered. The LÉ NIAMH has rescued 1280 migrants before this operation and is now en route to Palermo, other vessels remain at the scene. We wish all the best to the crew of the LÉ NIAMH in the continuance of their duties and our thoughts are with the deceased and their families during these tragic and challenging times.
