| Some 1400 migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean from North Africa to Europe were rescued on Tuesday, Italy's coastguard said, after at least 11 overcrowded boats set out from Libya amid calm seas.
Rescuers have also recovered eight dead bodies. The coast guard ship Diciotti took seven corpses from a rubber boat, while one body was recovered from another rubber vessel by the Topaz, a ship run by humanitarian group Migrant Offshore Aid Station.
