Three children were among the dead. No bodies have been recovered.
The Red Cross said the four survived using inner tubes and managed to climb onto another empty vessel nearby. The migrants rescued by the Rimona were then transferred onto an Italian coast guard vessel which brought them to the Sicilian island of Lampedusa on Wednesday, said Sea-Watch's Paul Wagner. Sea-Watch then spotted the people and proceeded to inform the closest merchant vessel, which was the Rimona.
