A rubber boat carrying dozens of Europe-bound migrants sank off the coast of Libya and at least 55 people drowned, including women and children, the UN migration agency said Wednesday. It was the latest tragedy in this part of the Mediterranean Sea, a key route for migrants. The boat was carrying at least 60 migrants and had set off from the coastal town of Garabouli, east of Libya’s capital, Tripoli. The agency said five migrants survived the shipwreck and were brought back to shore by the Libyan coast guard. The incident was the latest tragedy in the central Mediterranean, a key route for migrants.
