Survivors have reported that migrant traffickers takeoff the engines of dinghies once they are off Libya's coasts and leave the vessels drifting. Italy bears the brunt of migrants setting off from Libya. Meanwhile the interior ministry said numbers of arrivals are up 38% from 2016, a record year in terms of landings with 181,000 arrivals. Migrants from Nigeria, Bangladesh and Guinea were the most numerous while an increasing number of Syrians has also been registered. Both incidents involved rubber dinghies The first shipwreck was reported three days ago, when a rubber dinghy capsized after taking on water. Survivors were able to hold on to the boat for several hours, they said after landing in Pozzallo, near Ragusa, where they were taken by a Danish merchant ship that rescued them. Some 80 people, including the smuggler, died. Prosecutors have opened an investigation on culpable shipwreck charges. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has reported another shipwreck in which at least 113 people went missing after a rubber dinghy sank yesterday off Al Zawiyah. Libyan coast guards and some fishermen were able to rescue seven people - six men and a woman. According to eye witness reports, IOM Libya said, 120 people were onboard, including 30 women and nine children. Survivors tell tragic stories Rescue vessels bound for different ports in southern Italy have also reported tragic stories: the Frontex Siem Pilot is scheduled to arrive today in Salerno with 900 people onboard and the body of a three-year-old boy. The Vos Hestia boat of Save the Children arrived yesterday in Vibo Valentia with 12 pregnant women, 39 unaccompanied minors, several scabies cases and one of serious malnutrition. Another migrants is suspected of having contracted tuberculosis. A newborn - who arrived in Lampedusa aboard a vessel of NGO Open Arms together with some 500 migrants rescued in the Strait of Sicily - was transferred by helicopter to Agrigento due to respiratory distress. According to eye witnesses, a father was also onboard with his baby after the mother died in childbirth on a Libyan beach. Many mayors refusing to accept allocated quota of migrants Many arrivals occurred, as usual, during the weekend and authorities struggled to manage and relocate migrants. A hosting project promoted by the interior ministry and the Association of Italian municipalities ANCI is not going as planned. Many mayors - especially in the current pre-electoral climate - are refusing to accommodate their allotted quota of migrants, putting prefects in a difficult position. Prefects have the task of reallocating people after they land. The interior ministry has planned up to 200,000 arrivals, a number which is set to increase if migrants continue to land at this rate. Prefects could thus decide to look for accommodation on their own if municipalities don't cooperate.
