It is pertinent to mention here that an
Italy-bound fishing trawler reportedly carrying at least 800 people — including hundreds of Pakistanis — capsized off Greece. Only 104 people are known to have survived and the chance of finding more survivors was seen as virtually nil.
In another incident, around 61 migrants went missing and presumed dead after their boat sank off Libya’s coast, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said, in the latest migrant tragedy off North Africa. The “large number of migrants” are believed to have died because of high waves that swamped their vessel after it left from Zuwara, on Libya’s northwest coast, the IOM’s Libya office said in a statement to AFP.
