Ongoing Search Efforts for Migrant Shipwreck Victims
March 19, 2025
Search efforts for survivors of the migrant shipwreck continue at sea and from the air, although difficult weather conditions with 7 Beaufort winds are complicating the situation. Authorities are looking for possible survivors or bodies and are coordinating with Lebanese officials for rescue operations. The chances of finding survivors are slim, but searches will continue as long as conditions allow. DNA tests will also be conducted to determine if the bodies relate to the reported boat from Syrian refugees.
