At least 26 die in migrant shipwreck off Italy's Lampedusa island

The disaster, in this case involving people travelling from Libya, is the latest to befall migrants making the perilous Mediterranean crossing from Africa to Europe.

Workers transport goods to cargo vessels anchored along the riverbanks at the Noapara River Port in Abhaynagar, Jashore, instead of using the main channel. This growing practice, driven by inexperienced shipmasters, has raised concerns due to poor navigability, a narrow channel, and other safety hazards, making it an increasingly risky operation.
