The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Tuesday that 21 migrants were missing and have probably drowned after a rubber dinghy and a wooden boat sailed from the coast of Libya towards Italy.
The 21 people missing were all among the 51 on the wooden boat, and two dead infants had reportedly been discovered on board, bringing the likely death toll to 23, IOM spokesman Joel Millman told a regular UN briefing in Geneva.
All 132 people on the rubber dinghy were rescued, he said.
