Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEgypt has raised the wreck of a migrant boat and recovered at least 33 bodies, taking to 202 the death toll from last week’s sinking off the country’s Mediterranean coast.
Survivors say up to 450 migrants had been crowded aboard the fishing trawler when it keeled over off the port city of Rosetta on September 14, including an estimated 100 in its hold.
“The boat is being dragged to shore” after bodies trapped in the hold were recovered, says Wahdan al-Sayed, spokesman for Beheira province in northern Egypt.
