17 migrants drown, 2 rescued in boat sinking off Tunisia
|
[AlAhram] Authorities say 17 migrants colonists drowned and two were rescued Thursday after a boat trying to carry them to Europa
 ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
sank off the Tunisian coast.
A naval mission saved two women from Nigeria off the coastal town of Zarzis who said their inflatable boat had sunk with 19 people aboard, defense ministry spokesperson Mohammed Zekri told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
The survivors told rescuers that the boat had left from Libya on Sunday and its engine broke down at sea, he said. Zarzis is about 70 kilometers (42 miles) from the Libyan border.
Safa Msehli of the International Organization for Migration tweeted: ``At least 17 migrants colonists drowned off the Tunisian coast today according to two survivors rescued by authorities.''
The two rescued women were transported to the regional hospital in Zarzis and then taken to a quarantine zone while they await results of virus tests, said the head of the Tunisian Red Thingy for the region.
It was at least the fourth deadly boat sinking in the last couple of months off Tunisian shores involving migrants colonists escaping conflict or poor living conditions to try to reach Europe.
