International Desk
A mass grave containing "at least 65 migrants' bodies" was discovered in southwest Libya this week, the UN migration agency said on Friday.
"The circumstance of their death and nationalities remains unknown, but it is believed that they died in the process of being smuggled through the desert," the International Organization for Migration said in a statement.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is profoundly shocked and alarmed by the discovery of at least 65 migrants' bodies in a mass grave in Southwest Libya. The circumstance of their death and nationalities remains unknown, but it is believed that they died in the process of being smuggled through the desert.
“Each report of a missing migrant or a loss of life represents a grieving family searching for answers about their loved ones or acknowledging the tragedy of the loss,” said an IOM Spokesperson. “The cost of inadequate action is evident in the increasing human deaths and the disturbing conditions migrants find themselves in.”
