The Libyan Rescue Center announced on Sunday that it had received a distress call from a boat carrying 67 people drifting toward the Tunisian coast.
In a statement, the center has said it is coordinating with both the Italian and Tunisian coast guards to monitor the situation, adding that the vessel has entered Tunisian waters and is in a very critical condition.
Nearly a month ago, 40 immigrants went missing and six bodies were recovered after a boat sank in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Lampedusa. That boat had departed from Tunisia with 56 people on board.
