13 Tunisians drown in boat sinking
At least 13 Tunisians have died after a migrant boat sank off the Tunisian coast while attempting to reach Italy, while an emergency team rescued two people, one of whom is in critical condition. The boat set out early Thursday morning, and the survivors remained stranded at sea for hours after the vessel capsized, according to the Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights. The number of migrants from Tunisia has decreased over the past two years due to a strict crackdown on migration and expanded maritime patrols, despite criticism from international human rights organizations, which believe that the migration agreement between the European Union and Tunisia has led to serious violations against migrants and asylum seekers. The Mediterranean Sea remains one of the most dangerous migration routes in the world, where thousands from Africa and the Middle East attempt to cross on dilapidated or unseaworthy boats to reach Europe.
