Libyan migration department spokesman, said on
Tuesday in Tripoli that no fewer than 100 bodies,
presumably of sub-Saharan boat migrants, were
washed up near the Libyan city of Tajoura.
He said the bodies are believed to be victims of a
shipwreck off the western coastal town, located
some 10 kilometres east of Tripoli.
Tajoura is known as a departure spot for Europe-
bound boat migrants.
The spokesman said women and children were
said to be among the dead but authorities could not
yet confirm the exact number of bodies found or
their nationalities.
He said the bodies were being sent to a Tripoli
hospital.
The spokesman said if the number of the dead was
confirmed, it would be the biggest migrant tragedy
since April 18, when 850 people perished in a
single shipwreck off Libya.
Meanwhile, the International Organisation for
Migration, said 1,914 migrants have died in the
Mediterranean since January 1, compared to 1,031
within the same period in 2014.
The organisation said tragedies have become less
frequent since May following a decision by EU
leaders to expand search and rescue efforts. www.punchng.com |
