More than 100 African migrants, including two toddlers and a pregnant woman, were killed after setting off from the coast of Libya “in a rickety, inflatable dinghy” that sank, the New York Times reports.

According to Times, the scale of the catastrophe became clear after three survivors, two Sudanese and one Gambian, who were rescued by the Italian Navy and brought to shore in the southern Italian island of Lampedusa, told the aid workers that 117 migrants had died.
