Multiple migrant boats sink off Tunisia, leaving dozens dead.

At least 29 African migrants and asylum seekers died and 11 others were rescued when three boats trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea to reach Italy capsized along the Tunisian coast. Tunisia has seen a surge in migrants fleeing its shores for Italy in recent months as the North African country grapples with economic crises and its government, under President Kais Saied, carries out a crackdown on illegal immigration. The recent influx of African migrants and asylum seekers has raised alarm in Italy, whose prime minister warned that ongoing financial instability in Tunisia risked “unleashing an unprecedented wave of migration” to Europe.
