A baby is among two migrants found dead after a boat capsized off the coast of Tunisia.
The boat carrying 20 Tunisians sank on Saturday just 120 metres (395 feet) from the coast in Gabes, the coastguard said.
“Two bodies have been recovered, one of a 20-year-old man and the other of an infant,” it said in a statement.
Five passengers were missing and 13 others were rescued.
Gabes’ authorities have begun an operation to “determine the circumstances of this tragedy”, they said.
The incident occurred during a spike in migrants and refugees attempting to reach Europe, with Tunisia a major landing point for those making the journey to the continent across the Mediterranean Sea.
