According to a statement of Coast Guard, the local fishermen reported the sinking boat carrying 38 migrants near the coast of the island of Ogathonasa.
The statement added that a ship belonging to the organization of "Moise", which means saving immigrants, based in Malta, went to that spot, and was able to rescue 38 migrants who had succeeded to climb some rocks amid the sea, while the fishermen recovered the body of a woman and a child.
