Today, 14 bodies were found from the coast guard ships Dattilo and Corsi. A total of 34 bodies have been found since the search operation began, the coast guard said in a statement.

After the shipwreck, the coast guard rescued 11 people from the location and brought a woman's body ashore. Called more than 60 people are still missing, meaning maybe many more are still at sea.

According to UN data, more than 23,500 migrants have died or disappeared in Mediterranean central waters since 2014.

The coast guard said the planes provided by Italy and EU border agency Frontex contributed to search operations.
