UN says over 80 migrants missing from a capsized boat that departed from Libya
The U.N. migration agency says that more than 80 migrants went missing after a boat that departed a Libyan coastal town capsized in the central Mediterranean. About 120 people were on board when the boat departed from the town of Tajoura in northwestern Libya on Sunday. The vessel later overturned after taking on water during harsh weather conditions, according to the International Organization for Migration, or IOM. A merchant vessel and a tugboat managed to save 32 people and the Italian coast guard transferred them to the southern Italian island of Lampedusa. Two bodies also were recovered.
