TRIPOLI, April 16 — Six people were found dead and 29 are missing and presumed dead after their boat capsized off the coast of Libya, the International Organisation for Migration said today.

“The bodies of six people have been retrieved while 29 others are missing and presumed dead. At least 53 migrants have been reported dead or missing off Libya this week alone.” Migrants often endure horrific conditions in Libya before boarding overcrowded, often unseaworthy vessels that frequently sink or run into trouble.

The UN migration agency said Monday that four people were killed and 14 others missing after another boat sank off Libya’s coast, while two people were rescued.
