TUNIS: Around 200 migrants are missing off the Tunisian coast after an operation to rescue some 800 people aboard a small ship that ran aground on a sandbank, the official news agency TAP reported Thursday.
A rescue operation that began Wednesday has lifted 570 people off the overcrowded vessel after it ran aground and capsized near Tunisia's Kerkennah islands, the agency said.
But around 200 were still missing after they tried to scramble aboard a flotilla of rescue boats, it said. (AFP)
