<h1>Italian Coast Guard Recovers Six Bodies; Up to 40 Migrants Missing After Dinghy Sinks in Mediterranean</h1> The Italian Coast Guard recovered six bodies and is searching for up to 40 missing migrants after a rubber dinghy sank in the Mediterranean. The dinghy, which departed from Tunisia, carried 56 people from Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Guinea, and Mali. Ten survivors were rescued and are receiving care in Lampedusa. The UN reports over 24,506 migrants have died or gone missing in the central Mediterranean since 2014. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni credits economic agreements with North African countries for a decrease in migrant arrivals, while humanitarian groups criticize the government's practice of assigning distant disembarkation ports.
