Scores Missing In Shipwreck off Libya

Dozens of migrants were missing on Friday after an overloaded fishing boat sank off the coast of Libya, the third major tragedy in the Mediterranean in as many days, Italian rescuers said.
Italian coastguards sent in rescue ships after a call for help that spoke of 350 people in the water, while the Italian navy said it had saved 130 people and was searching for others.
The coastguard, which co-ordinates rescue operations in the area, was not able to give further information immediately.
This is the third major accident involving migrants this week, with authorities estimating that more than 10 000 migrants have been rescued near the Libyan coast.
Emergency services also said they had received distress signals from more than 15 vessels on Friday.

And yet, by the looks of these statistics, some countries are marching on with unsustainable practices as if air pollution is not putting life on earth in danger at all. The highest levels of small and fine particulate pollution (PM10 and PM2.5) at the moment are recorded in South-East Asia and the Mediterranean.
