UNHCR says at least 40 feared dead or missing in shipwreck off Libya - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

“Terrible news coming in of potentially large loss of life in a shipwreck off the coast of Libya,” UNHCR spokesman Charlie Yaxley said in a tweet, adding that details were still sketchy.

Libyan coastguard spokesman Ayoub Qassem said the bodies of five migrants had been recovered and 65 migrants had been rescued about 9 miles off the coast of the city of Khoms. Unseaworthy vessels overloaded with migrants trying to reach Italy regularly capsize off Libya. Last week more than 100 people died, and a boat with about 250 capsized last month.

The number making the voyage declined sharply from mid-2017 after European-backed efforts to disrupt smuggling networks in Libya.
