As many as 64 migrants Cheap Jeff Skinner Hat , including a mother whose 3-year-old child desperately clung to her, are feared dead after a traffickers' overcrowded rubber dinghy from Libya started sinking in the Mediterranean Sea, officials said Monday.
The Italian coast guard rescued 86 people from the boat hours after it started sinking Saturday morning due to a puncture. Specially trained rescue divers leapt into the water to pull dozens to safety, including those who managed to stay aboard the half-submerged dinghy as well as others already flailing in the cool waters around it. The bodies of eight dead women were also recovered.
Since trafficking dinghies are often crammed with far more than 100 migrants, fears quickly arose that dozens more could be missing in the sinking. U.N. officials said Monday that accounts from survivors bore out those fears.
An Italian coast guard search that went through the night didn't find any more survivors or corpses.
Flavio Di Giacomo of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said in tweet Monday that survivors interviewed by the agency in Catania, Sicily Cheap Justin Faulk Hat , after they arrived on a rescue ship said 150 people had been aboard the dinghy when it set out from the coast of Libya.
"Sixty-four migrants lost their life in the shipwreck (which) occurred last Saturday," Di Giacomo said, adding that "probably 56 missing migrants" were lost at sea.
Catania Mayor Enzo Bianco told Italian Radio Radicale that among the survivors was a child who lost her mother.
"I watched a 3-year-old girl while she was starting to play at the port here. She was saved, grabbed at the last second by the coast guard in the sea," the mayor said. "She was clinging to her mother and she saw her drown."
Bianco said the child is now with her aunt, who was among the survivors.
The dinghy Cheap Teuvo Teravainen Hoodie , half-submerged, had been spotted by an aircraft from a European naval mission combatting migrant trafficking.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants have been rescued at sea and taken to southern Italian ports in the last few years, including nearly 119,000 last year. Another 3,100 drowned along the way in 2017, the IOM says.
They include refugees fleeing wars or persecution who hope to receive asylum as well as economic migrants Cheap Jaccob Slavin Hoodie , mainly from sub-Saharan Africa, who aren't eligible to be granted permission to live in Europe.
Di Giacomo couldn't immediately be reached for further details on the weekend survivors.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Costa Rican President Luis Guillermo Solis told Xinhua in a recent interview that closer relations with China have helped promote the country's development.
The president made the remarks following the inauguration of a Chinese-built and funded National Police Academy in the country's east-central province of Limon.
Cooperation between China and Costa Rica has been raised to a new level since they forged diplomatic relations 10 years ago.
"There are so many (bilateral) projects that are making a difference to people's lives," said Solis.
Many bilateral programs aim to improve Costa Rica's trade, security, and infrastructure Cheap Victor Rask Hoodie , an area that has traditionally lacked investment, said the president.
The Chinese presence in Costa Rica dates back to at least 1855, when a group of Chinese rail workers arrived from neighboring Panama and found jobs in agriculture. Today, there is a sizable Chinese community in the country, especially in the capital of San Jose.
"Costa Rica is a country that identifies itself, in the first article of its Constitution Cheap Scott Darling Hoodie , as multicultural and multiethnic, meaning we recognize we are the outcome of the presence of many peoples and many cultural traditions, one of the most important of which is perhaps the Chinese," said Solis.
China's relations with the Latin American region is "essential," given its significant role in global affairs and its influence as a world power, said the president.
To that end Cheap Elias Lindholm Hoodie , he celebrated Panama's decision to establish diplomatic ties with China, saying it gave "added value" to China's presence in southern Central America.
"I hope that as a result of that decision by the government of China and the government of Panama, Costa Rica can also form part of this ecosystem of political and trade ties in southern Central America, and that with our decade of experience, plus Panama's trade impetus, we can establish a bridge Cheap Brock McGinn Hoodie , a trans-Pacific partnership with China, of great benefit for our countries," said Solis.
Solis said his country will focus on improving and expanding its free trade agreement with China.
