Rough Waters: Strong Winds

North Africa Dept: The ANSA news agency said about 20 bodies have been spotted, according to CTV. Thousands of people — mostly Tunisians — have arrived from North Africa on Italy's shores, fleeing the turmoil that has engulfed the region and the Coast Guard has so far saved 48 out of 200 believed to be aboard the rickety board, said Pietro Carosia of the Italian Coast Guard. But helicopters have also spotted a number of corpses in the sea, Carosia said, declining to provide a number. The rescue operation was hampered by strong winds and rough waters, ANSA said. As reported in the news.
