Mediterranean Migrant Ship Sinks; Storms, Deaths, and Conflict

Fifty-three people are dead or missing after a migrant boat capsized in the Mediterranean Sea off the Libyan coast, according to the UN migration agency, the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The boat overturned north of Zuwara on Friday, leaving only two survivors.

The incident is the latest in a string of tragedies on the central Mediterranean route, where hundreds of migrants and asylum seekers have died already this year, according to The Guardian. The IOM reported the boat capsized, but did not specify the cause.

In other news, a drone attack by a paramilitary group in central Sudan killed at least 24 people, including eight children. The attack targeted a vehicle carrying displaced families, a doctors group said on Saturday. The incident occurred amid ongoing fighting in the region. The UN reported that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) also hit an aid convoy in the state on Friday.

Meanwhile, the Iberian peninsula has been hit by a third deadly storm in two weeks. Spain and Portugal have endured another storm over the weekend, following the deadly flooding and major damage caused by Storm Kristin and Storm Leonardo last week, according to The Guardian.

In cultural news, Ghanaian musician Ebo Taylor, a pioneer of the highlife genre, died at the age of 90. His son, Kweku Taylor, announced the news on Sunday, calling his father "a colossus of African music." Taylor passed away a day after the launch of an Ebo Taylor music festival and exactly a month after his 90th birthday.

Finally, a new survey indicates nearly three-quarters of Pakistanis support deploying troops to the Gaza Strip as part of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF). The findings of the poll by Gallup Pakistan come as media reports suggested Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will attend the first formal meeting of United States President Donald Trump's Board of Peace (BoP) on February 19, according to Al Jazeera.
