43 명이 죽었고 10 화요일에 리비아 해안에서 서 아프리카 이민자들을 태운 배가 전복당한 후 구조되었습니다., 국제 이주기구 (IOM) and UNHCR said in a Wednesday statement.
This is the first migrant shipwreck of the year 2021, the UNHCR said.
The boat left the northwestern Libyan city of Zawya early Tuesday and reportedly capsized a few hours after departing due to bad sea conditions and when the engine stopped, the UNHCR said.
The people who died were all men from West African countries, the UNHCR added.
“Survivors, mainly from Cote d’Ivoire, 나이지리아, Ghana, and The Gambia, reported that those who perished were all men from West African countries,” the UNHCR said.
“Hundreds of people lost their lives last year attempting to cross the Central Mediterranean, where the highest number of fatalities along a single migration journey worldwide occurred,” 성명은 말했다.
“IOM and UNHCR fear that due to the limited ability to monitor routes, the actual number of people who perished in the Central Mediterranean during 2020, could be much higher,” 그것은 추가했다.
