At Least 15 Egyptians Die Migrant Boat Capsizes Off Libya

Multiple tragic incidents involving migrant boats have resulted in numerous deaths recently. Near Mora Jetty in India, a fishing boat capsizing caused the death of a 22-year-old migrant worker from Uttar Pradesh, while nine others swam to safety. Off the coast of northern France, a man attempting to cross the English Channel to Britain was found dead, marking at least 18 migrant deaths in the channel this year. In Libya, a migrant boat bound for Europe capsized near Tobruk, killing at least 15 Egyptian nationals; two Sudanese crew members were rescued, with one missing. Libya remains a major transit point for migrants fleeing war and poverty, with over 400 reported dead and hundreds missing in recent months due to such maritime disasters. These events highlight the ongoing peril faced by migrants attempting dangerous sea crossings amid challenging weather and unstable regional conditions.
