At least 22 migrants died in the Mediterranean Sea while attempting to travel from Libya to Greece, according to reports received on Saturday night. Twenty-six others were rescued from the same boat, including 21 Bangladeshis. Families of the missing said the deaths were not caused by a boat sinking but by starvation and thirst after the vessel suffered mechanical failure and drifted for nearly a week.
Relatives from Sunamganj district in Bangladesh confirmed that among the dead were ten people from the area, including residents of Dirai, Doarabazar, and Jagannathpur upazilas. Survivors reported that many bodies were thrown into the sea. The rescued group included 21 Bangladeshis, four from South Sudan, and one from Chad. Two of the survivors were hospitalized in Heraklion, Crete, in critical condition.
The incident highlights the continuing peril faced by migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean, with mechanical failures and lack of food and water proving deadly for many aboard.
