A rubber boat carrying dozens of people capsized off the coast of Libya, leaving at least 53 people, including two babies, dead or missing, according to authorities.

At least 60 people were killed and dozens rescued after a boat capsized in Nigeria's north-central Niger State, local authorities said on Wednesday.

A passenger motorboat sank in a river off the coast of Bangladesh's Noakhali district on Saturday, apparently due to bad weather and tidal waves, killing one person, police confirmed, adding that 33 people have been rescued so far and five are still missing.
