At least 13 Sudanese migrants have died when the boat they were traveling in capsized off the coast of Tunisia on Thursday. 27 others are still missing, according to a spokesman for a court in the Tunisian city of Monastir.
As far as is known, only two of 42 people on board the boat survived the accident, which occurred after the boat left the coastal town of Jebiniana near Sfax.
