An estimated 170 migrants have been lost in the Mediterranean in two incidents involving dinghies that left from Libya and Morocco.
One dinghy was spotted sinking in rough waters on Friday by an Italian military plane on patrol. A naval helicopter was dispatched and rescued three people who were suffering from severe hypothermia and taken to hospital on the island of Lampedusa.
Italian politicians were once again split on how to deal with the migrant crisis.
