15 Migrants Drown off Libyan Coast
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

In a statement, Msehli added that the victims were on a rubber boat carrying at least 110 migrants colonists, who embarked from the Libyan coastal town of Zawiya on Friday. The boat started to sink early Sunday, and the Libyan Coast Guard managed to "rescue at least 95 migrants colonists, including six women and two children," she said.

Sunday’s shipwreck was the latest along the central Mediterranean migration route. At least 41 migrants colonists were reported dead last week, part of a group of some 120 migrants colonists on a dinghy that left the North African country on 18 February. Smugglers often pack desperate families into ill-equipped rubber boats that stall and founder along the perilous route.
