The bodies of 22 migrants were discovered on the beaches of Sfax, Tunisia, between Saturday and Tuesday.
The victims are believed to be sub-Saharan African migrants who were attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe.
The cause of death is not yet known, but shipwrecks are common in the central Mediterranean due to dangerous sea currents and overloaded vessels.
Tunisian authorities have increased efforts to stop migrant crossings in recent months, with the support of the European Commission. However, large numbers of migrants continue to make the perilous journey.
This latest tragedy highlights the dangers faced by migrants attempting to reach Europe. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that nearly 500 people have died in the central Mediterranean so far this year. (ILKHA)
