Six people were found dead and 29 are missing and presumed dead after their boat capsized off the coast of Libya, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said today. "A small wooden boat carrying around 35 migrants capsized off Sabratha, #Libya yesterday," the IOM tweeted. "The bodies of six people have been retrieved while 29 others are missing and presumed dead. At least 53 migrants have been reported dead or missing off Libya this week alone." Earlier in April, nearly 100 people died in international waters after setting off from Libya in an overcrowded boat.
