The death toll in the crash of a boat with illegal migrants off the coast of Tunisia has risen to 25. This was announced on Monday, March 21, by the mission of the International Organization for Migration in Tunisia on Twitter.
“Over the past two days, the bodies of 25 people have washed up on the beaches of Nabeul. The vessel on which they traveled probably left the coast of Tunisia a few days ago and contained 60 people on board, ”the message says.
The mission’s Facebook account states that the identification of the bodies is underway, but according to available information, most of the people were from Syria and Tunisia.
Earlier, on March 19, it was reported that at least 20 people died in the crash of a boat with migrants in Tunisia.
