The Afghan embassy in Italy has announced that 91 passengers of the refugee ship that sank off the southern coast of Italy are Afghans.

The Afghan Embassy in Italy said in a statement that 91 of the refugees who drowned on the southern coast of Italy are Afghans, and so far the bodies of 48 of them have been identified.

It is stated in the announcement that the officials of this embassy are discussing with the Italian authorities to transfer the bodies of drowned Afghan refugees to Kabul as soon as possible.

It should be remembered that nearly two weeks ago, a ship carrying refugees from Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan sank off the southern coast of Italy.

A few days ago, this boat had set off from Turkey with refugees from Afghanistan, Iran and several other countries, and it sank in a storm near the coast of Italy.
