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

German charity RESQSHIP said it rescued 51 people from a sinking boat and found 10 bodies trapped on the lower deck of the boat near the moonlit island of Lampedusa.

"In another incident on the same day, more than 60 people were reported missing, with 26 of them believed to be children," Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said.

The UN agency reported that the boat was carrying migrants who had left from Libya and Turkey.

Survivors of the shipwreck near Lampedusa were handed over to the Italian coastguard and washed ashore on Monday morning, while the bodies of those who lost their lives are being towed to the island.

"The boat had left 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. .

"Entire families from Afghanistan are presumed dead. They left Turkey eight days ago and had been taking water for three or four days. They told us they didn't have life jackets and some boats didn't stop to help them,” authorities said.

The Mediterranean is the world's deadliest known migration route. More than 23,500 migrants have died or gone missing in its waters since 2014, according to UN data.
