According to reports by the Libyan Red Crescent and a security directorate this week, at least 29 bodies of migrants have been recovered in two locations in the southeast and west of Libya. InfoMigrants reported that ten bodies were retrieved from a shipwreck, while 19 were discovered in a number of graves at a farm. Last month, authorities in the same area of the country managed to free over 260 sub-Saharan African migrants who had been, according to InfoMigrants, "held by a smuggling gang in extremely poor human and health conditions."
