Around 61 migrants were missing and presumed dead after their boat sank off Libya's coast, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said Saturday, in the latest migrant tragedy off North Africa. Libya and Tunisia are principal departure points for migrants risking dangerous sea voyages in hopes of reaching Europe, via Italy. An IOM team "provided medical support" and the survivors are all in good condition, the IOM office said. The Adriana, a fishing boat loaded with 750 people en route from Libya to Italy, went down in international waters off southwest Greece on June 14. More than 153,000 migrants arrived in Italy this year from Tunisia and Libya, according to the United Nations refugee agency.
