The security and ambulance services in the Army Navy, at the entrance to the port of Tripoli, handed over the body of a 5-year-old girl and a Syrian woman in her fifties to their families, who stayed for hours at the entrance to the port of Tripoli. About 30 miles off Selaata beach, the 232 survivors on board the boat on an illegal voyage towards Cypriot ports were rescued when the boat broke down in territorial waters.
The army’s naval forces immediately went and worked to save them, while a woman died with her child during their transfer by UNIFIL.
Al-Jadeed’s sources suggested that the cause of death was the severe cold while they were being pulled out of the port, most of them holding Syrian nationality, and regarding twenty Lebanese who were on board the boat.
