Fifteen migrants die in boat off Libya, Egyptian survivor says
Fifteen migrants have died in a boat off the Libyan coast after spending 12 days at sea without food or water, an Egyptian survivor said on Tuesday. Only 10 migrants from the capsized boat survived, all of whom were suffering from severe dehydration, Othman Belbeisi, head of the U.N. migration agency IOM in Libya, said on Twitter. The owner of a beach chalet found the migrants washing up on the shore near the city of Misrata and called authorities, who brought them to the Red Crescent relief service and hospitals, residents said.

Divers searching a stretch of the Colorado River in Arizona where two boats slammed into each other found the bodies of two victims of the crash on Tuesday, a day after another body was recovered, officials said.

The crash hurled occupants of the two boats into the water near Arizona’s border with California, less than 15 miles (24 km) south of the California town of Needles.

Gaza fisherman battles poverty with plastic bottle boat
With hundreds of empty plastic bottles collected from the shores of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, fisherman Muath Abu Zeid has turned litter into a floating source of income. The Palestinian father-of-four used glue and old nets to bind the bottles into a small fishing boat that he hopes will help him support his family. A broad slab of wood lashed to the top serves as a seat, allowing the Abu Zeid to row a few hundred meters out from shore — far enough to go fishing.
