Forty-one migrants have been killed in a shipwreck off the island of Lampedusa in Italy, ANSA reports.
The ANSA news agency cited accounts from survivors of the shipwreck, who told rescuers they were on a boat that had set off from Sfax in Tunisia, which sank on its way to Italy.
The survivors said the boat, which was carrying 45 passengers, capsized and sank after only a few hours.
