Migrants, yet another shipwreck in Tunisia: 4 dead and 51 missing

  At least four dead and 51 missing are the toll from the sinking of a boat loaded with sub-Saharan migrants off the coast of the Kerkennah Islands in Tunisia. This is what local media reports according to which the Tunisian Coast Guard rescued two people and fished out the bodies of four people. On board the boat at the time of the sinking, there were 57 sub-Saharan migrants, the same source specified. The judicial authorities have announced the opening of an investigation by the prosecutor. As far as the Italian coasts are concerned, only in the last few hours have two shipwrecks occurred in Largo di Lampedusa, with about thirty missing.

After the landing on the island, late yesterday evening, of 57 migrants and two corpses (a woman and a child) fished out by Coast Guard patrol boats, the IOM mediators, having heard the survivors, managed to reconstruct that the boats sinking would be two. The first cart had 48 migrants on board, 45 of whom were rescued. According to their stories, there would be 3 missing. On the second vessel there were instead 42 sub-Saharans, 14 of whom were recovered. About thirty should be missing.
