Libya shipwreck claims 74 lives
By EUobserver
At least 74 migrants and asylum seekers died off the coast of Libya on Thursday (12 November), in the latest in a series of at least eight other shipwrecks in the central Mediterranean since October. About 120 people, among them women and children, were thought to be on the boat heading towards Europe. At least 11,000 attempting to cross have been returned to Libya this year.
