12 Migrants, Including 3 Children, Dead After Boat Sinks Off Tunisia

At least 10 people are still missing as Tunisia's coast guard ramps up efforts to curb unauthorized crossings.

Tunisia's coast guard recovered 12 bodies, including three children, after a boat carrying over 50 people sank near Djerba.
Twenty-nine survivors were rescued, but at least 10 people remain missing as search operations continue.
This incident follows another recent tragedy where 13 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa were found dead near Mahdia.
Tunisia, with European support, has increased patrols, leading to a significant drop in migrant crossings and deaths this year.
The central Mediterranean remains one of the deadliest migration routes, with over 1,000 migrants dying or going missing annually.
