Death Toll Rises to Over 91 in Boat that Left Lebanon and Capsized Off Syria

The death toll from a migrant boat that sank off the Syrian coast after sailing from Lebanon earlier this week has risen to 91, Syrian state TV said on Saturday.

The Syrian transport ministry has quoted survivors as saying the boat left from Lebanon's northern Minyeh region on Tuesday with between 120 and 150 people onboard, bound for Europe.
