At Least 41 Dead After Migrant Boat From Tunisia Sinks Off Italy

A boat carrying around 45 migrants sank off the coast of Lampedusa after departing from Sfax, Tunisia.
Four survivors were rescued, reporting that 41 people died, including 3 children.
The survivors were from Ivory Coast and Guinea and transferred to the Italian coast guard.
This shipwreck is one of several deadly Mediterranean crossings so far this year, with over 1,800 migrant deaths.
Italy has seen a sharp increase in migrant arrivals by boat in 2023, prompting calls for EU assistance.
