Earlier on February 2, The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said that an estimated 90 migrants are feared to have drowned off the coast of Libya after a smuggler’s boat capsized early on Friday, leaving three known survivors and 10 bodies washed up on shore.
Survivors told aid workers that most of the migrants on board were Pakistanis, who form a growing group heading to Italy from North Africa, IOM spokeswoman Olivia Headon, speaking from Tunis, told a Geneva news briefing.
“There are almost 90 estimated people who drowned during the capsize, but we still have to verify the exact number of people who lost their lives during the tragedy,” she said.
