It has been reported that 50 people lost their lives as a result of a boat carrying irregular migrants sinking in the section of the Mediterranean between Libya and Malta.
According to a report by Times of Malta, one of Malta's leading newspapers, another migrant tragedy occurred in the Central Mediterranean, one of the frequently used irregular migration routes in recent years.
According to the statement of a migrant rescued by a cargo ship off the coast of Tunisia, 50 migrants lost their lives when the boat he was on sank on January 23. This migrant was the only person to survive the tragedy and was taken by the Armed Forces of Malta for treatment and brought to Malta.
The newspaper's report stated that the recent migrant tragedy occurred while storm 'Harry' was affecting the Central Mediterranean, causing strong winds and high waves. The civil society organization 'Alarm Phone,' which reports calls for help from irregular migrants on social media platforms, confirmed the incident and stated that the capsized boat had departed from Tunisia.
Alarm Phone also reported that there has been no news from others who set out from Tunisia on three boats in recent days.
