They were taken back to shore on Saturday.
"As indicated by the survivors, 22 transients, all from Mali, passed on during the excursion. Detailed reasons for death are suffocating and lack of hydration. Among the dead are three kids," said Msehli.

'World's deadliest movement course'
Libya has turned into a vital course for sporadic movement to Europe in the turbulent years since the 2011 defeat and killing of tyrant Moamer Kadhafi in a NATO-upheld uprising.
While many have suffocated adrift, thousands have been caught by the Libyan coastguard, which has been upheld by Italy and the EU, and got back to Libya.
"The (exiles) service gives its sympathies for the sake of the public authority to the impacted families and to the Malian nation for this misfortune," Mali's administration said in a proclamation that approached the Malian nation to "battle against sporadic relocation".
The International Organization for Migration has said that almost 2,000 transients suffocated or disappeared in the Mediterranean in 2021, contrasted with 1,401 the earlier year.
It is the world's deadliest relocation course, however individuals expecting to construct a superior life in Europe progressively risk it.
Mali, which is at present under military rule, is persistently shaky and has been struck by inward difficulties and local jihadist powers.
Jihadists joined a territorial rebellion in northern Mali in 2012, and afterward stretched out their mission to the focal point of the nation and adjoining Burkina Faso and Niger.
Great many regular people have passed on, multiple million have escaped their homes and financial harm to nations that are among the most unfortunate on the planet has been extreme.
