More than 200 migrants are missing after two motorboats they were travelling on sank in the Mediterranean Sea, the UN's refugee agency says. | |
"Nine were saved after four days at sea. The other 203 were swallowed by the waves," UNHCR's spokeswoman in Italy, Carlotta Sami, said on Twitter. | |
She called the situation a "horrible and enormous tragedy". | |
The International Organization for Migration says the two boats departed from the Libyan coast on Saturday. |
