A judicial official stated in a press interview today, Wednesday, that "the Tunisian Coast Guard has recovered 14 bodies of migrants off the coast of Djerba," raising the number of migrants who have died off the coast of Tunisia in the past two days amid a significant increase in the number of migrant boats heading towards Italy. Yesterday, the Coast Guard retrieved 22 bodies off the coast of Sfax and seven other bodies off the coast of Gabès.
