Migrants rescued from dinghy in Mediterranean as at least 41 dead in shipwreck off Italy

Operations to rescue migrants have continued in the Mediterranean as at least 41 people were reported to have died in a shipwreck off the Italian island of Lampedusa last week.

Doctors Without Borders has released video of one of their vessels going to the aid of a boat loaded with migrants on Monday, 7 August.

Four people who survived the shipwreck said their boat set off from Sfax in Tunisia and sank on its way to Italy.

They said they were on a boat carrying 45 people including three children.
