At least 11 people have died and more than 60 others are missing after two ships sank off the coast of southern Italy.

German organization RESQSHIP said it pulled 51 people from a sinking ship and found 10 bodies trapped on the lower deck near the island of Lampedusa on Monday.

More than 60 people were reported missing, with 26 of them believed to be children, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said.

The boats were carrying migrants who had departed from Libya and Turkey, UN agencies said.

Survivors of the shipwreck near Lampedusa were handed over to the Italian coastguard and brought ashore on Monday morning.

The ship had departed from Libya and was carrying migrants from Syria, Egypt, Pakistan and Bangladesh, the UN refugee agency UNHCR, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the UN children's agency UNICEF said in a joint statement.

The other shipwreck was about 125 miles off the coast of Calabria in southern Italy, the agencies said./ CNA
