Overview

• The IOM says a boat carrying 75 Sudanese refugees caught fire on Sunday and sank about 60 kilometers off Tobruk while heading to Greece, with at least 50 dead and 24 survivors given medical care.
• UNHCR reports a separate capsizing near Tobruk involving 74 people, leaving only 13 survivors and dozens unaccounted for.
• Combined reporting places the number of dead and missing at more than 100, with totals subject to verification by UN agencies and local authorities.
• The Libyan Red Crescent has recovered bodies on beaches west and east of Tobruk, though it has not confirmed whether they are from these incidents.
• Humanitarian groups urge stronger search-and-rescue and safer migration pathways as Sudan’s war fuels departures from eastern Libya, and Mediterranea Saving Humans has submitted abuse allegations against Libyan forces to a Sicilian court.
