Boat sinking near Zarzis and Ben Guerdane
The tragedy of a migrant boat sinking off the coasts of Zarzis and Ben Gardane in Medenine has resulted in the recovery of two bodies, while search efforts continue for the remaining missing persons. The sole survivor of the incident, who was traveling with 15 young men, confirmed that the boat sank about five hours after setting sail due to rough weather and overloading. He indicated that he spent more than two days swimming before being rescued by a Libyan boat that took him to Tunisia. He explained that the boat was carrying a large number of people, along with approximately 18 containers of gasoline and water. He also pointed out that difficult economic and social conditions drive young people to undertake such journeys, calling for the creation of job opportunities and prioritizing stability in their regions to prevent the dangers of irregular migration by sea. Security, army, and search teams continue their efforts to recover the missing persons, in circumstances reminiscent of similar incidents in the region over recent years.
