Four killed as two boats carrying 95 illegal migrants sink off Libya

The second boat carried 69 illegal migrants, including two Egyptians and dozens of Sudanese, the Red Crescent added without specifying their fate.

Khums is a coastal city, some 118 kilometres east of the capital, Tripoli.

On Wednesday, the International Organisation for Migration said that at least 42 illegal migrants went missing and presumed dead after a rubber boat sank near the Al Buri oilfield, an offshore facility north-northwest of the Libyan coast.
