    Several people have drowned off the Tunisian coast in recent months.

The death toll from the weekend sinking of migrant boats off the coast of Tunisia rose to 20 on Monday, according to a Tunisian judicial official.

A spokesperson for the courts in the city of Sfax stated that Tunisia's coastguard recovered three more bodies on Monday.

At the weekend, seventeen bodies were recovered after four boats carrying 120 African migrants to Italy capsized off the coast of Sfax.

It is the latest in a string of migrant boat disasters off the coast of Tunisia.

Sfax's coast has become a major departure point for people fleeing conflict and poverty in Africa and the Middle East in search of a better life in Europe.
