14 migrants died off the Tunisian coast after their boats drowned in two separate incidents on March 7 and 8. Most of those on board were from Sub-Saharan African countries and were headed to Italy in an attempt to migrate to Europe. In recent times, there has been a greater scrutiny of Tunisia's ole on the issue. Migrant aid organizations claimed that Tunisian officials forcefully removed the engines of at least seven boats carrying migrants and let them float in the sea for hours.
