UN: 75 migrants drown near Libya
By EUobserver
Some 75 people died when their boat capsized in stormy weather near Libya en route to Europe in recent days, according to the UN's International Organization for Migration. "Delaying rescue operations by up to five minutes can make the difference between life and death," it said. More will also die on the Poland-Belarus border due to winter weather unless Poland lets aid agencies help, the International Rescue Committee NGO added.
