At Least 29 African Migrants Die When Two Boats Sink Off Tunisia

At least 29 migrants have died after at least two boats sank off Tunisia’s coast within hours of each other.
The sub-Saharan migrants were trying to cross the Mediterranean to reach Italy.
It is the latest in a string of migrant boat capsizes off Tunisia’s coast in the last few days, with five others sinking in the past four days.
This comes after Tunisia launched a campaign against undocumented African migrants.
Meanwhile, Italian officials on the island of Lampedusa say they are overwhelmed, after a record 2,500 migrants arrived in the last 24 hours.
