 Tunisian coast guards pulled 41 bodies from the Mediterranean Sea over the weekend, raising the total known number of victims of migrant shipwrecks to 210 in the past 10 days. 

Tuniz, May 1 (RHC)-- Tunisian coast guards pulled 41 bodies from the Mediterranean Sea over the weekend, raising the total known number of victims of migrant shipwrecks to 210 in the past 10 days. 

Boats transporting refugees to Europe -- mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, Syria and Sudan -- have been leaving in higher numbers from the Tunisian coast in recent months due to a crackdown on the boats by Libyan authorities, a worsening economic crisis in Tunisia, as well as racist comments against Black Africans made by Tunisian President Kais Saied in February.
