Three sisters drown in migrant boat in Mediterranean, rescuers say
Three sisters tragically drowned when their overcrowded migrant boat capsized in the Mediterranean Sea, according to statements from rescuers. The incident took place on Friday morning, approximately 30 miles off the coast of Libya. The three sisters, aged 8, 12, and 15, were part of a larger group of migrants attempting to reach Europe in search of a better life.
Rescue teams were dispatched to the scene after receiving distress calls from the boat. Despite their efforts to save everyone onboard, the overcrowded and unseaworthy vessel sank before all the passengers could be safely evacuated. A total of 47 people were rescued, but the three sisters were unable to be saved.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has expressed deep concern over the increasing number of tragedies in the Mediterranean involving migrants. They have called for a more coordinated and proactive approach from European nations to prevent such incidents in the future.
The incident highlights the desperate and dangerous journey that many migrants undertake in search of safety and opportunity. It also underscores the need for international cooperation and support to address the root causes of migration and ensure safe pathways for those seeking refuge.
