At least fifty-five people drowned after their boat sank off the coast of Libya, the United Nations migration agency said on Wednesday, the latest in a series of deadly accidents in just a few days involving migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe. The rubber boat, carrying 60 people, left Tuesday morning from Garabouli, a small town a few dozen miles east of Tripoli, Libya’s capital, according to the agency, the International Organization for Migration. Only five survivors were brought to shore by the Libyan coast guard. “This is a very high number of lives,” said Safa Msehli, a spokeswoman for the organization. “That is a very, very dangerous thing.”Human rights organizations have for years protested the lack of preventive search and rescue patrols by countries around the Mediterranean.
