Sea Claims 11 Tunisian Migrants
Eleven Tunisian migrants drowned off the coast of Zarzis while trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Italy, after their boat sank at the end of the week. Coast Guard forces managed to recover three bodies and retrieve eight others, while the army and civil protection are searching for three missing persons with the help of helicopters. The central sector of the Mediterranean Sea is considered one of the most dangerous migration routes worldwide, with the death and disappearance toll significantly increasing in 2026, as the International Organization for Migration announced that more than 914 migrants have died or gone missing since the beginning of the year. Tunisia is attempting, through international agreements, to curb this phenomenon, which causes the deaths of hundreds annually.
