Five Migrants Perish in Capsizing Incident Off Malta

A rescue operation turned tragic when a migrant boat capsized off Malta, resulting in five deaths and eight injuries.

Five migrants, including a woman, died and eight others were injured when their boat capsized during a rescue operation off Malta.
The boat, believed to be carrying migrants from Egypt, Syria, Ghana, and Eritrea, capsized due to instability as passengers moved around.
Twenty-one migrants were rescued and taken to a migrant center; search operations continue to ensure no one is left at sea.
Malta's armed forces were alerted to the migrant boat's presence near fish farms off the southern coast before the incident.
Mediterranean sea crossings are among the world's most dangerous migration routes, with almost 2,500 migrants dying or going missing last year.
