Tunisia says 23 migrants missing after setting off in boat to Italy

About 23 migrants were missing after setting off in a boat from Tunisia towards Italy, the country's National Guard said on Saturday.

Tunisia is facing a migration crisis and has replaced Libya as a main departure point for people fleeing poverty and conflict in Africa and the Middle East in the hope of a better life in Europe.

The National Guard said it had deployed floating units and had informed the navy to help in the search for the missing people.
