A migrant boat off southern Tunisia capsized Thursday, killing at least two and leaving twelve missing — one survivor, found in a life jacket by a passing ship, sparked a massive rescue operation. The vessel was headed to Italy, a common route from Zarzis, a town with a grim history of deadly crossings, including a 2022 tragedy that ignited protests. Despite a major EU-Tunisia agreement and over $105 million in funding last year aimed at curbing irregular migration, perilous journeys persist. Human rights groups warn EU-backed border control may be worsening conditions for refugees, trapping them in dangerous, unsanctioned routes with no safe alternatives.
