At least 13 Sudanese migrants have died and 27 others are missing after their boat sank off Tunisia’s coast.
A Tunisian official said only two people on board survived, while search operations were under way for those missing.
It is the latest disaster to hit migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean from Africa to Europe.
More than 2,270 migrants died in 2023 trying to cross the central Mediterranean, a 60% increase on the previous year, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Last year, the European Union (EU) signed a deal with Tunisia to tackle irregular migration.
