04 MARCH, 15:17
(ANSAmed) - TUNIS, MARCH 4 - Unit Tunisian navy rescued 86 migrants from different countries in Africa aboard a boat off the coast of Zarzis, in the south of the country in an attempt to reach Italy. The boat departed from the Libyan port of Zouara, a city 60 kilometers from the border with Tunisia, was directed at Lampedusa when off the coast of Zarzis began to take on water and launched the alarm signal. The announcement was made an officer of the Coast Guard to the Tunisian Tap. Migrants rescued, including five women, one of them pregnant, were subsequently transferred in shelters Ben Guerdane and Medenine in southern Tunisia. The increasingly chaotic situation in Libya encourages the departures of these desperate people who arrive in Libya from Eritrea and sub-Saharan Africa in hopes of finding peace and security in Europe. Of these 86, 42 are from Nigeria, 17 from Somalia, 13 from Gambia and 8 from Mali. (ANSAmed).(Software translation)
