At least 60 dead after Tunisian migrant ship sinks - IOM
Tarek Amara, Stephanie Nebehay3 Min Read

TUNIS/GENEVA (Reuters) - The death toll from a ship packed with migrants that sank off Tunisia on Sunday has risen to at least 60, with dozens still missing, the United Nations migration agency said.

The overloaded boat went down near the southern island of Kerkenna. At least 100 people were killed or are missing, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said.

“Among the 60 victims transferred to the forensic department at Habib Bourguiba hospital in Sfax, 48 are Tunisians ... 12 are non-Tunisian, the identifications are in progress,” Lorena Lando, chief of mission of the IOM in Tunisia said in a statement late on Monday.

The boats already sink, and these are fairly common occurrences.

The blood is on Bergoglio's hands for encouraging these people to cross.
