1 illicit migrant killed, 14 missing off Libyan coast
(MENAFN) An illicit migrant was killed while another 14 are still missing off the Libyan coast, stated the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Monday, Aug. 23.
UNHCR said on Twitter: "between last night and today, 279 individuals were returned to the Tripoli Naval Base (95) and Azzawiya Oil Refinery Port (184) following three disembarkations."
UNHCR noted: "one body was recovered and 14 were reported missing during the operation in Azzawiya (45 km east of Tripoli)."
Libya has been undergoing insecurity and disorder since the fall of the late leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, turning Libya into a favored point of departure for illicit migrants who want to traverse the Mediterranean Sea to European shores.
