Tragic shipwreck claims over 60 lives as migrants attempt perilous journey to Europe
More than 60 people, including women and children, drowned when a migrant vessel capsized off the coast of Libya. The boat was carrying 86 migrants when it was swamped by strong waves near the town of Zuwara. The European Union's border agency located the partially deflated rubber boat and alerted authorities, but the Libyan coastguard reportedly refused to search for the migrants. Libya has become a major transit point for migrants fleeing war and poverty, with thousands dying on the dangerous journey to Europe. The situation highlights the urgent need for increased efforts to save lives at sea and address the abuses faced by migrants in Libya.
