On the Foreign Scene:Boats Carrying 500 Migrants Capsized.
Another tragedy as Libya mourns the death of hundreds of people from two boats that capsized carrying about 500 migrants early on Thursday morning off the Libyan city of Zuwara. The first boat which signaled for help was carrying about 50migrants.
Residents and officials says; the second overcrowded boat, which sank much later, had about 400 passengers.
All efforts are being put in place to rescue some of the passengers by the Libyan Coast Guide. Which has led to the rescue of 201 people. But many seems to have been trapped when the boats capsized.
Thanks for stopping by and my sincere apology for the days spent away from here. Do have a blessed Friday and don't forget "life is worth living and people worth loving." Cheers!
