Tripoli, 4 October 2015:

Members of the Red Crescent have spent much of the last five days picking up . . .[restrict]the drowned corpses of migrants washed to the Libyan coast that they had left with such great hopes.

The organisation said today that so far its members, many of them volunteers had collected some 95 bodies in various stages of decomposition.  Around 85 of the bodies had been along the coast near Tripoli while ten had been found near Sabratha.

These latest discoveries edge the known total of dead migrants from Libya this year toward 3,000. [/restrict]
