Tragic Migrant Shipwreck Claims Over 60 Lives off Libyan Coast

Over 60 people, including women and children, have drowned after a migrant vessel capsized off the coast of Libya. The boat was carrying 86 migrants when it was swamped by strong waves. The incident highlights the dangers faced by migrants attempting to reach Europe through the central Mediterranean route. Libya has become a major transit point for migrants fleeing war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East, with thousands losing their lives on this perilous journey.
