Madagascar Migrant Tragedy: Capsized Boats Claim Over Two Dozen Lives
A tragic shipwreck off the coast of Madagascar has led to at least 24 deaths, with the death toll potentially rising as more bodies are recovered.
The incident occurred when two boats, overloaded with migrants, capsized while attempting to reach the French island of Mayotte.
The boats were reportedly carrying individuals seeking to escape poverty and unemployment in their home countries.
This perilous route is often used by migrants from the Horn of Africa.
Malagasy authorities and fishermen rescued some survivors, but many others remain missing.
