Tunisia reports migrant voluntary returns since 2022
A migrant vessel off the coast of Tunisia sank while attempting to reach Italy, resulting in the loss of at least 13 people and the rescue of two others, one of whom is in critical condition. The boat was carrying young people from Ben Gardane, and most of the irregular sea journeys departing from Tunisia lack proper safety measures, putting migrants at risk. The Tunisian government also announced that since the launch of the voluntary return mechanism in 2022, 25,103 irregular migrants have voluntarily returned to their countries, amid European pressure to enhance Tunisia's ability to monitor its coasts and reduce irregular migration attempts.
