Six Pakistanis among dozens feared dead in Libya migrant boat disaster

ISLAMABAD: Six young men from Pakistan’s northwestern Bajaur district are among dozens feared dead after a migrant boat capsized off the coast of Libya, relatives said on Tuesday, highlighting the continued toll of illegal migration routes to Europe. The vessel, carrying around 115 passengers, overturned late Sunday along the central Mediterranean route, one of the world’s deadliest migration corridors. Survivor accounts suggest only about 30 people were rescued, while international maritime officials fear at least 73 are dead.
