Egypt identities bodies in a capsized boat off Tobruk
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry has announced the identification of several bodies of those who died in a capsized boat off Tobruk after departing from Libya. The ministry said in a statement Wednesday that it had taken the necessary measures to transport the victims via the land border crossing after their families in Egypt identified them, in coordination with the Libyan side. According to the statement, the ministry also took measures to deport the survivors to their country upon completion of the ongoing investigations, monitored by the Egyptian consulate in Libya. In its statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry urged all Egyptian citizens to refrain from using irregular migration routes due to the grave risks they entail, in addition to their exposure to exploitation by human trafficking networks. Eighteen Egyptian migrants died and 50 others went missing when a boat capsized off the coast of Tobruk, east of the country, earlier this week. According to the International Organization for Migration, 10 bodies have been identified, and 10 others survived the boat sinking. The bodies of the migrants were found on the beach of Al-Aqila, 25 kilometers east of Tobruk, according to Reuters, citing a source from the city's coast guard.
