On 26 February 2023, a boat carrying migrants sank amidst harsh weather conditions while trying to land on the coast of Steccato di Cutro, a seaside resort village near the town of Crotone in the region of Calabria in Southern Italy. The boat was carrying about 200 migrants when it sank, of whom at least 94 died,[1] including at least 35 children.[2][3] Eighty-one people survived.[4]
The shipwreck was one of Italy's worst migrant boat disasters. It led to a public outcry, and following an investigation conducted by journalists, both the Italian government and the European Union (EU) border agency Frontex were accused of lying about their roles in the accident.[1][2]
