The overcrowded boat faced 5-foot waves during its crossing from Libya, resulting in the drowning of three sisters aged 9, 11, and 17, among 65 migrants rescued, a charity said.
- On Friday, the charity vessel Nadir intercepted the rubber boat that departed Zuwara, Libya overnight and found the bodies of three sisters aged 9, 11 and 17 inside the overturned boat.

- Sixty-Five people rescued from the boat include three pregnant women and a seven-month-old baby, while Italy's coastguard evacuated 14 medical cases and relatives to Lampedusa on Saturday.

- Officials note the government is tightening migration controls and has grounded the German rescue charity's reconnaissance plane amid Italy's tougher posture under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
