Selon plusieurs ONG, la tempête Harry, qui a frappé la Méditerranée centrale et les côtes italiennes du 19 au 21 janvier, aurait provoqué la disparition d’environ 1 000 migrants, bien au-delà des 380 cas initialement avancés par les gardes-côtes italiens. Les canots partis principalement de la région de Sfax en Tunisie auraient été pris dans des vagues jusqu’à 16 mètres et des vents violents, et de nombreux convois entiers n’ont jamais regagné la côte, laissant des centaines de familles sans nouvelles de leurs proches. Quelques survivants et corps ont été retrouvés (notamment un homme de Sierra Leone agrippé à une épave et le corps d’une femme repêché par l’Ocean Viking), renforçant la crainte qu’il s’agisse de l’une des plus grandes tragédies migratoires récentes en Méditerranée centrale.
