A wooden
boat with approximately 200 people onboard sank off the coast of
Tripoli, Libya. At least 170 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa are
missing.
So far the
country's port services have rescued 16 people and found 15 bodies.
The Libyan coast guard does not have the necessary means for such
operations. The search and rescue operation carried out by only one
boat.

“... a
recent report by Amnesty International stressed how the European
Union and its member states have constructed an increasingly
impenetrable fortress to keep the migrants out, regardless of the
desperate measures that many of them are prepared to take to reach
Europe.”
“The
UNHCR says 500 migrants and refugee seekers have died in the
Mediterranean Sea since the beginning of the year.”
“Over
23,000 people are estimated to have lost their lives trying to reach
the Old Continent since 2000.”
