A tragic shipwreck off the coast of Libya has left 53 migrants dead or missing, according to multiple sources including Pakistan Today, Dawn, and The Frontier Post. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that the rubber boat, carrying 55 people, capsized north of Zuwara on February 6, 2026. Only two Nigerian women survived the ordeal, as reported by The Guardian and Al Jazeera. These survivors recounted losing close family members in the tragedy; one lost her husband, while the other lost her two babies.
