A boat carrying migrants toward Italy capsized near Tunisia’s coast, leaving at least 13 Tunisians missing, according to the Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights. The vessel had departed at dawn on Thursday, and the information was reported on Saturday by the observatory’s head, Mostafa Abdelkabir.
Two people were rescued from the boat. One survivor told rescuers that those aboard had been stranded in the sea for several hours after the vessel overturned. The source did not provide further details on the condition of the missing people or the circumstances that caused the boat to capsize.
Tunisia was once one of the main departure routes for migrants seeking to cross the Mediterranean to Europe. However, migrant departures from the country have decreased significantly over the past two years, the report said. The incident occurred during an attempted journey toward Italy.
