At least 14 migrants, according to Tunisian authorities, have perished in several shipwrecks in the Mediterranean over the past two days.
The most recent catastrophe, in which a boat sank off the coast, has left more than 50 people missing.
Sub-Saharan Africans made up the entire crew.
The majority of unauthorised African migrants who try risky journeys to Europe pass through Tunisia.
More than 900 migrants’ drowned bodies have been found this year, according to the interior minister of Tunisia.
