The Tunisian Coast Guard rescued 184 migrants on Friday and thwarted twelve “illegal sea crossing” operations, the TAP news agency reported Saturday, citing official sources.

A total of 119 were nationals of “different African countries” and were attempting to embark on the Central Mediterranean migration route to Italy, the deadliest known.

Last Sunday, August 7, the Tunisian coast guard intercepted several boats with another 250 migrants, mostly from sub-Saharan countries, in addition to Tunisians.
