Tunisia's coastguard has recovered 43 new bodies from Tunisian waters, bringing the death toll from migrant wreckage off the country's coast to 210 in 10 days. Most of the victims are coming from sub-Saharan Africa, Sudan and Syria, due to the repercussions of economic and political crises in the countries of the region.
The pace of migration attempts, which often end in accidents and tragedy of drowning, has increased following a speech in which Tunisian President Kais Saied strongly criticized the phenomenon.
