Asile et Migration - Quatorze corps de migrants retrouvés sur les côtes de l'île tunisienne de Djerba

Les corps de 14 migrants morts noyés au large de la Tunisie ont été retrouvés sur les côtes de l’île de Djerba depuis vendredi, ont indiqué les autorités mercredi.

“Les corps ont commencé à échoir sur les côtes de Djerba vendredi. Quatorze corps, la plupart des Africains subsahariens, ont été récupérés depuis”, a déclaré à l’AFP Fethi Bakkouche, procureur du tribunal de Médenine (sud-est), dont dépend l’île de Djerba.

Un Egyptien, identifié grâce à son passeport retrouvé sur le corps, figure aussi parmi les morts, selon la même source.

La Tunisie et la Libye sont les principaux points de départ en Afrique du Nord pour des milliers de migrants clandestins, qui risquent leur vie chaque année dans l’espoir d’une vie meilleure en Europe.

Selon l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations, 2.498 personnes sont mortes ou ont disparu en tentant de traverser la Méditerranée centrale l’année dernière, soit une augmentation de 75% par rapport à 2022.

Mardi, les autorités tunisiennes avaient annoncé avoir retrouvé depuis samedi sur les côtes du centre-est du pays les corps de 22 migrants morts noyés au large en tentant de gagner clandestinement l’Europe à bord d’embarcations de fortune.
