The International Organization for Migration (IOM) fears that more than 30 migrants have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Tunisia. So far, only six bodies have been recovered.
The German Federal Police have joined France and the UK in an anti-people-smuggling operation called ‘Small Boats’. They say smugglers are buying boats in Germany with the aim of transporting migrants across the Channel.
The numbers of migrants who were intercepted by Libya's coast guard while attempting to cross the Mediterranean almost tripled in 2021 compared to the year before, according to the UN.
