Libya: Nine migrant bodies found off Tripoli
The Libyan Red Crescent has recovered the bodies of nine migrants who drowned off the coast of Tripoli, and authorities expect the arrival of more bodies, as the boat was carrying around 19 people. At the same time, the emergency charity ship rescued 50 migrants from a wooden boat, and the bodies of seven others were recovered. Libya has seen an increase in its use as a transit route for migrants fleeing conflict and poverty toward Europe since 2011. The European Union is working to establish a maritime rescue coordination center in Benghazi to reduce the flow of migrants along this dangerous route.
