Boat carrying migrants and refugees from Lebanon sinks off Syria, at least 70 killed. Thousands of Lebanese, Syrians and Palestinians have left Lebanon on boats over the past months seeking better opportunities in Europe. It was not immediately clear how many people were on board and where exactly were they heading, but the coastguard is still searching for bodies. The incident is one of the deadliest since a surging number of Lebanese, Syrians, and Palestinians have tried to flee crisis-hit Lebanon by sea to Europe.
