      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;At least seven Pakistanis were confirmed dead on Tuesday in a boat accident near the Libyan coast, sources within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Six of the deceased individuals were from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram and Bajaur districts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Around 65 migrants were aboard the boat, with 35 Pakistanis confirmed to have survived while approximately 30 individuals were in the custody of Libyan police.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The accident occurred near the port of Marsa Dela. The Libyan Red Crescent announced on Friday that 10 individuals died when the boat sank off the northwestern port of Zawiya.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It added that following reports from the Zawiya Security Directorate and the Coast Guard, the team recovered 10 bodies, which were subsequently handed over to local authorities after legal proceedings.&lt;/p&gt;
