Migrant Bodies Wash Up in Libya

On Friday, it was reported that more than at least a hundred bodies have washed up on the shores of Libya and there are also those still missing. These large numbers are due to recent boat capsizes in the Mediterranean that are causing thousands of missing people. At least 117 bodies were recovered on the shores of Libya, at total of 75 women, 36 men, and 6 children, near the Zwara. Around this time a boat carrying about 700 migrants also capsized off the coast of Crete. While 340 people were rescued with 9 bodies being recovered, there is still many that are still missing. A rescue for these individuals are still being made.
