At least 70 migrants are missing after a wooden boat sank in the Mediterranean Sea on Saturday afternoon within Libya’s search and rescue zone. The Italian NGO Mediterranea Saving Humans reported the incident on Sunday, stating that the vessel had departed from the Libyan coastal city of Tajoura carrying 105 people, including men, women, and children. The boat went down about 14 nautical miles northeast of Libya’s Bouri oil field. Thirty-four people were rescued alive, and two bodies were recovered. The survivors and the bodies were taken to Italy’s southern island of Lampedusa.
Mediterranea Saving Humans expressed sorrow over the missing persons and urged European countries to adopt safer migration policies. Meanwhile, Italy’s ANSA news agency, citing survivors, reported that the boat may have carried as many as 180 migrants and that around 80 people drowned before coast guard patrols arrived.
The differing accounts highlight uncertainty over the total number of passengers and missing persons, while rescue operations and identification efforts continue.
