Citing Libyan navy officials, international media said that on Friday on the way to Europe on the Eastern coast of Tripoli, the boat carrying hundreds of immigrants was submerged. Libyan coastal guards rescued 16 young people already alive.

IOM spokesman Christine Peter told CNN that we have recovered bodies of three children under the age of five. But how many people have disappeared or died, we do not know.

Citing rescue workers, AFP reported that after the blast, the boat engine caught fire and it sank in the sea. According to eyewitnesses, AFP said that during the crash, the 8-meter long boat had extra capacity to accommodate the boat. However, its exact calculation was not known how many passengers were in it. There were hundreds of passengers on the boat, including estimates, children and 15 women.

Libya is a popular destination for immigrants to Libya to get away from Italy in the hope of a better life. But a lot of people died in the boat, desperately trying to get out of the sea. 1 million 20 thousand immigrants died in the sea last year.

In addition, in the beginning of June, a boat siege of immigrants in the coast of Tunisia killed 120 people. Earlier on Friday, 90 people were killed in Libya's western coast.
