Bodies of African migrants found off
The bodies of around 170 illegal migrants from sub-Saharan Africa have been found off the Libyan coast as their boat sank last week.
Libyan rescuers have recovered the bodies of around 170 people after a boat carrying illegal migrants from sub-Saharan Africa sank at sea last week.
„We freed about 100 bodies trapped in the hold of the 16-metre wooden boat which foundered not far from the coast,“ coast guard official Abdellatif Mohammed Ibrahim said.
Another 70 bodies were washed up by the tide, including five young children, he said.
