Tunisia recovers 11 bodies after migrant boat sinking
Eleven undocumented migrants drowned off the coast of Tunisia after a boat carrying 15 people capsized on Friday night, and three remain missing. The boat was approximately 14 nautical miles from Zarzis. Only one person was rescued, while three bodies were recovered yesterday and eight today. The incident coincided with protests in Ben Guerdane, the city where most of the migrants are from, and came amid increasing risks of death in the Mediterranean, considered one of the most dangerous migration routes in the world. Tunisia is a major departure point for migrants heading to Europe. In 2023, the European Union launched a $290 million agreement to strengthen efforts to combat irregular migration.
