Migrant boat sinking leaves 13 missing in Tunisia

At least 13 Tunisian migrants drowned off the Tunisian coast while attempting to cross to Italy, while two others were rescued—one of whom is in critical condition—after their boat capsized in the Mediterranean Sea. The head of the Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights stated that the incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday, and the survivors, including some who remained at sea for several hours, confirmed that the boat was wooden and was chased by the Tunisian navy. In recent years, the number of people leaving Tunisia by sea has decreased due to a crackdown campaign and tighter border controls supported by Europe. However, human rights organizations criticize the reduction of European funding for migration monitoring agreements, arguing that this has led to an increase in violations of migrants' rights in Tunisia. These events highlight the dangers of crossing the Mediterranean, which is considered one of the most perilous migration routes in the world, as thousands of migrants from Africa and the Middle East attempt to reach Europe on unseaworthy boats.
