A tragic incident occurred off the coast of Libya as a boat carrying 13 Egyptian migrants to Europe capsized, resulting in the loss of all passengers except for one survivor. The boat met its fate approximately 60 kilometers east of Tobruk on Monday evening, as reported by the humanitarian group Al-Abreen. The lone survivor was rescued amidst the devastating circumstances, with the bodies of the deceased migrants later recovered and brought ashore.
Authorities from the Directorate for Combating Illegal Migration in Tobruk have also confirmed the distressing incident, shedding light on the perilous journey many migrants undertake in search of safety and better opportunities. Libya has increasingly become a crucial transit point for individuals fleeing conflict and poverty in various regions of Africa and the Middle East.
