At Least 10 Migrants Drown Off Libyan Coast
-------------------------------------------

At least 10 migrants traveling by boat died Tuesday after their vessel
sank off the Libyan coast. At least one baby was among the dead,
according to Libyan officials. Seventeen people were rescued. The
migrants came from various nations, including Sudan and Bangladesh. This
is one of the survivors of the shipwreck.

Shipwreck survivor: "We arrived in the middle of the water. The captain
said we can't continue. The side of the wave hit us. Two children died,
two newborn babies. Myself, my leg broke. Girls with broken legs,
pregnant women were stuck in the water."
