At least 61 refugees and migrants, including women and children, have drowned following a tragic shipwreck off Libya.

According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), a large number of migrants are believed to have died because of high waves which swamped their vessel after it left from Zuwara, on Libya’s northwest coast.
