ROME (Reuters) - More than half of the survivors of a shipwreck near the Italian island of Lampedusa last month which killed more than 360 migrants have disappeared from the centre in Rome where they had been living, city officials said on Wednesday.

Between Sunday and Monday, 89 of the Eritrean survivors left the city-provided housing without a word to the authorities. They had previously spent more than a month in the overcrowded immigration centre in Lampedusa.
