At least 45 migrants died in the shipwreck in front of Libya. I am currently forty-five. They came from Senegal, Mali, Chad, and Ghana. Among them were also five children. They are the confirmed dead so far of the worst shipwreck - known - of 2020 which took place on August 17 in the Mediterranean off the coast of Libya. This is what the International Organization for Migration (IOM) affirms in a tweet in which together with the UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, warns: "Without a dedicated relief operation and a mechanism for landings led by the European Union, more lives will be lost in the Mediterranean”.
