Eleven bodies found off Libyan coast
A media report reveals the discovery of 11 decomposed bodies off the Libyan coast, approximately 57 nautical miles from Zuwara. The aircraft used in the surveillance belong to two non-governmental organizations specializing in Mediterranean migrant rescue efforts: "SOS Mediterranee" and "Pilots for Humanity Initiative." The fatalities are linked to Europe's policies based on indifference and deterrence. They occur amidst an increase in migrant deaths in the Mediterranean despite a decline in the number of migrants due to European tightening measures. The International Organization for Migration indicated a significant rise in the death or disappearance tolls during the first four months of 2026, reaching 821 cases—an increase of 111% compared to 2025. Many migrants continue to attempt crossing the Mediterranean from North Africa to Europe, amid worsening humanitarian conditions and rising dangers.
