Migrant boat sinks off Tunisia coast, 14 people reported missing

Two bodies were recovered and 12 people remain missing after a boat carrying migrants sank 14 nautical miles off the Tunisian coast on Saturday.

The vessel, which departed on Thursday with approximately 15 people on board, was reportedly heading toward Italy when it sank near the island of Djerba.

The International Organization for Migration estimates over 35,000 people have died or gone missing in the Mediterranean since 2014, with 10,000 Tunisians lost since 2011.
