This is the best summary I could come up with:


Italian news agency ANSA and RAI television cited survivors who said the vessel had set sail from the Tunisian city of Sfax to Italy.

Four survivors were rescued by a Maltese cargo ship and taken to Lampedusa by the Italian coastguard and were reportedly in a state of shock, according to authorities.

The survivors, three men and a woman from Ivory Coast and Guinea, said that 45 people had been on board, including three children.

The vessel reportedly set off last Thursday and traveled for around six hours before it was capsized by a large wave.

This represents an increase of more than double in comparison to the same time period last year.

According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), almost 28,000 people have gone missing trying to cross the sea since 2014.
