Relatives carry a coffin containing the body of an immigrant who drowned when a boat sank, at a hospital morgue in Sfax, Tunisia June 4, 2018. At least 100 people were killed or are missing, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said. Tunisian authorities, which on Sunday said they had recovered 48 bodies, provided no new figures but said the coast guard was still searching for dozens of missing migrants. The U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said 52 people were confirmed dead with 60 missing and voiced concern about incidents along the central Mediterranean route. The IOM said 68 people had been rescued after the vessel sank - 60 Tunisians, two Moroccans, one Libyan, one Malian, one Cameroonian national and three Ivorians.
