Tunisia-SANA
A Tunisian navy unit managed to rescue 93 illegal immigrants of different nationalities after their boat encountered difficulties in the Mediterranean.
Tunisian media reported that the rescue operation took place southeast of the Al-Ataya area, 70 kilometers from the coast.
A Tunisian navy ship transported the migrants to the fishing port by the shoulder to disembark and hand them over to the National Guard to take legal action against them.
Three non-governmental organizations announced the day before yesterday that they had rescued more than 400 migrants trying to reach Europe on a wooden boat in the Mediterranean.
According to the International Organization for Migration, at least 1,146 people died at sea during the first half of this year trying to cross to Europe.
