Breaking News: Multiple Fatalities Reported as Migrant Boats Sunk in Mediterranean At least four people have died after two migrant boats capsized off the coast of Libya on Saturday, with rescue workers confirming the fatalities among Bangladeshi nationals. The boats, carrying nearly 100 migrants, were using the central Mediterranean route between North Africa and Italy, a route known as the deadliest known migration route in the world. The Libyan Red Crescent reported that four people have died, all of whom were passengers in a boat carrying 26 Bangladeshi nationals.

Rescue workers are currently administering aid to survivors, with images shared by the Libyan Red Crescent showing their crew providing assistance. The situation remains dire, with the possibility of further fatalities still uncertain. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
