Meanwhile, Libyan Red Crescent teams found three survivors at two
different sites on the beaches of Al-Alous, some 90 kilometres (55
miles) from Tripoli.
The bodies’ which were in advanced state of decomposition indicates
that the shipwreck happened several days ago.
Libya, wracked by a decade of conflict and lawlessness, has become a
key departure point for African and Asian migrants making desperate
attempts to reach Europe.
Migrants often endure horrific conditions in Libya before embarking
northwards on overcrowded, often unseaworthy vessels that frequently
sink or get into trouble.
The latest tragedy comes just days after 160 migrants died within a week
in similar incidents, bringing the total number of lives lost this year to
1,500, according to the International Organization for Migration, IOM.
The IOM says more than 30,000 migrants have been intercepted in the
same period and returned to Libya.
