At least 18 migrants died in a shipwreck off the city of Tobruk in eastern Libya and 50 are still missing, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said yesterday, citing reports.
Ten survivors have been accounted for so far, the IOM said.
Tobruk is a coastal city near the border with Egypt.
A diplomatic source from the Egyptian consulate in Benghazi in eastern Libya told Reuters by phone that the migrants are from Egypt.
