An 11-year-old girl survived three days at sea after a migrant boat sank in a storm off Italy's Lampedusa island. She was found clinging to tyre inner tubes and was the sole survivor of the 45 people on board. The girl, from Sierra Leone, set off from the Tunisian city of Sfax and was suffering from hypothermia when rescued. The sea migration route between Tunisia, Libya, Italy, and Malta is one of the most dangerous in the world, with more than 24,300 people having disappeared or died along it since 2014. Italy's hardline approach to immigration is contributing to a fall in sea arrivals.

Authorities enlisted the help of a local tow truck company to remove the shark from the beach, with residents comparing the scene to the movie 'Jaws'.
