Nineteen bodies have been recovered after a rubber boat carrying migrants sank off the eastern Libyan coast, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said.
The vessel, carrying more than 70 Sudanese and South Sudanese nationals, left a beach near the town of Kambout on 9 September and sank the same day. Fourteen people were rescued five days later, while 42 remain missing.
The Libya Red Crescent said it received an emergency call from authorities in Tobruk, 60 kilometres west of Kambout, regarding recovery of bodies. Several bodies were recovered at Kambout beach, though it is unclear if these were among the 19 reported by the IOM.
In a separate incident, authorities in Zuwara, western Libya, rescued 35 migrants, including five women and a child, from a boat off the Abu Kammash area.
Earlier in September, another migrant boat sank off Libya’s coast. One person died and 22 went missing. Nine of the 32 people on board were rescued.
