New shipwreck with migrants happened today in Tunisia.
Its coast guard rescued 5 people and recovered 10 bodies after the boat sank close to shore.
A coast guard officer said the ship had sailed away from Mahdia Beach.
This is the second ship of its kind to sink off the coast of Tunisia in a matter of hours. The total death toll so far stands at 29.
NGO boat hijacked in Lampedusa
At the same time, in Lampedusa, the authorities proceeded to temporarily arrest the ship of the non-governmental organization Louis Michel, whose activities were financed by the famous artist Bansky.
According to NGO members, “Italian authorities do not allow them to set sail and start a new business in the central Mediterranean.”
According to the Italian press, this temporary arrest is likely due to the fact that the ship may have carried out several rescue operations for migrants before entering the Italian port, which is prohibited by the country’s new legislation.
