CAIRO — The U.N. migration agency said Tuesday that a boat carrying migrants bound for Europe capsized in the Mediterranean Sea off Libya, leaving at least two dozen people drowned or missing and presumed dead, the latest shipwreck off the North African country.
Safa Msehli, a spokesperson for the International Organization for Migration, told The Associated Press that Libya’s coast guard intercepted three boats on Monday, and one of them had capsized. She said the coast guard retrieved two bodies, and survivors reported 22 others were missing and presumed dead.
At least 45 survivors on the three boats were returned to the shore. All migrants were men, with a majority from Egypt and Morocco, she said.“This new tragedy signals yet again the need for increased search and rescue capacity in the Mediterranean. Instead, we are seeing restrictions on NGOs and long, unnecessary stand-offs,” Msehli said.
Libya, which descended into chaos following the 2011 uprising that toppled and killed longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi, has emerged as a major transit point for African and Arab migrants fleeing war and poverty to Europe.
Every 'refugees welcome' celebrity, politician and fame slave are responsible for these deaths. People trafficking destroy lives.
The poor sea life having to feast on those shitters 😣😣
Stand by for Europe to get the blame, rather than the people traffickers
While we are boiling in Trump Soup, migrants are still risking their lives for a better life........
Excellent news.

Did Johnson bomb them out of their beds or was it Trump?
We should have the British public decide to boycott the event altogether.
