Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): A Tunisian judicial official told Reuters that at least four people died and 51 people went missing after a ship carrying migrants sank near Kerkna island in Tunisia. All the passengers of this ship were from sub-Saharan African countries.
The Minister of Interior of Tunisia said in July that the country's coast guard found the bodies of 901 drowned migrants on the coast of Tunisia from January 1 to July 20 of this year, which shows an unprecedented number of victims on the coast of this country.
This North African country is facing an unprecedented wave of migration this year, and reports of the drowning of migrant boats heading to Italian shores from sub-Saharan Africa are frequent.
