Tunisia's coastguard has recovered nine bodies and six people remain missing after a boat sank off the Tunisian coast, highlighting the dangers of refugee crossings.
Judge Farid Ben Jha confirmed that the boat was carrying at least 42 people before it went down, emphasizing the perilous journeys refugees undertake seeking better lives in Europe.
With Tunisia and Libya as key departure points, many sub-Saharan Africans are risking their lives in dangerous Mediterranean crossings to reach Italy, illustrating the growing refugee crisis.
UN statistics reveal that 1,536 people have died or gone missing in the central Mediterranean in 2023 alone, showing an alarming trend of fatalities during these voyages.
