Bodies of 40 migrants wash ashore in Libya

Libya's Red Crescent says the bodies of 40 migrants have washed ashore in the Mediterranean country.

 

Red Crescent spokesman Mohamed al-Masrati says 27 of the bodies were found Saturday at the town of Zliten, east of the capital, Tripoli. The rest were found along the shores of Tripoli and the nearby town of Khoms.

 

Al-Masrati says most of the migrants were from sub-Saharan African countries. He says search efforts are underway for another 30 migrants whom they believe were on the boat that capsized.
