Forty-one migrants have been killed in a shipwreck off the island of Lampedusa in Italy, according to local media 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.
It comes only days after two boats capsized in the same area, prompting a rescue operation of more than 55 people.
