The 61 people are believed to have died because of high waves, which swamped their vessel after it left from Zuwara, on Libya\u2019s north-west coast, the IOM\u2019s Libya office said in a statement on Saturday. It said there were about 86 people onboard, citing survivors.<\/p>\n<p>The IOM said the vessel had departed from the shores of Zuwara during the night between December 13 and 14. Libya and Tunisia are principal departure points for people risking dangerous sea voyages in hopes of reaching Europe, via Italy. In the latest incident, most of the victims \u2013 who included women and children \u2013 were from Nigeria, the Gambia and other African countries, the IOM office said, adding that 25 people had been rescued and transferred to a Libyan detention centre.<br \/>\nAn IOM team \u201cprovided medical support\u201d and the survivors were all in good condition, the IOM office said.<\/p>\n<p>Flavio Di Giacomo, an IOM spokesperson, wrote on X that more than 2,250 people had died so far this year on the central Mediterranean migration route, a \u201cdramatic figure which demonstrates that unfortunately not enough is being done to save lives at sea\u201d. The Adriana, a fishing boat loaded with 750 people en route from Libya to Italy, went down in international waters off south-west Greece on 14 June. According to survivors, the ship was carrying mainly Syrians, Pakistanis and Egyptians. Only 104 survived and 82 bodies were recovered. More than 153,000 refugees and migrants arrived in Italy this year from Tunisia and Libya, according to the UN refugee agency. Italy\u2019s far-right prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, won elections last year after vowing to stop illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/dec\/17\/more-than-60-migrants-presumed-dead-after-boat-sinks-off-libya-says-un\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/dec\/17\/more-than-60-migrants-presumed-dead-after-boat-sinks-off-libya-says-un\">The Guardian<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/more-than-60-people-presumed-dead-after-boat-sinks-off-libya-says-un\/\">More than 60 people presumed dead after boat sinks off Libya, says UN<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[6517,555,10820,6401,3145],"class_list":["post-119643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-boat","tag-csr-news-en","tag-iom","tag-libya","tag-sink"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119643\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
