At least 13 Tunisians missing after migrant boat sinks off Tunisia, group says

A migrant boat sank off the coast of Tunisia, leaving at least 13 people missing, according to a group involved. This incident highlights the ongoing risks faced by migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean, despite efforts to curb departures. The reduction in migrant departures from Tunisia over the past two years is attributed to a crackdown and tighter maritime controls, backed by European funding and modern border-monitoring equipment. The incident underscores the need for continued vigilance and support for those affected by migration.
