Mustafa Misto embarked on a sea voyage from crisis-hit Lebanon seeking a better life for his family, but he drowned in a shipwreck alongside his children and dozens of others, relatives said Friday.

A handout picture released by the Syrian Red Crescent on September 23, 2022, shows rescuers transporting the body of a drowning victim in the Syria’s southern port City of Tartus, after a boat transporting migrants from Lebanon sank off the Syrian coast. At least 73 migrants drowned after a boat they boarded in Lebanon sank off Syria’s coast, Lebanon’s transport minister said on September 23, the deadliest such shipwreck from Lebanon in recent years.

Its desperate citizens are joining Syrian and Palestinian refugees clamouring to leave the country, where more than 80 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. In the northern city of Tripoli, Lebanon’s poorest, anger mixed with grief as relatives received news of the death of their loved ones.

“I will leave even if I die: either I succeed or I die,” he had kept repeating before he left, Omar said.
