Cooler temperatures are also expected with highs of 22°C and lows of 12°C going into Monday.

Close to 1,000 immigrants, most of which being African, were caught trying to flee Libya and head for Europe via wooden boats and dinghies.

Currently, Libya is in the midst of national instability due to the country’s civil war and many nationals ended up seeking criminal services to orchestrate clandestine voyages towards Europe.
