Many Pakistanis feared drowned as two migrant boats sink near Libya

New Delhi, April 26: Numerous Pakistani migrants drowned after two boats sank in the Mediterranean in different parts of Libya on Tuesday. The two unrelated boats were headed from Libya to Europe on Tuesday night when they sank -- one near Tripoli and the other one near Sabratha. The Libya Observer reports that the Libyan Red Crescent has been recovering bodies of migrants over the past one week. This is the third known tragedy to have struck Pakistani migrants in the past few months. In a similar incident earlier in a different setting, at least 40 Pakistanis were found dead when their overloaded boat with migrants sank off the coast of south Italy.
