Libyan’s Red Crescent Society discovers irregular migrant’s body on shoreline of Surman
(MENAFN) On Wednesday, the Libyan Red Crescent Society's Surman branch reported the discovery of a deceased irregular migrant's body on the shoreline of Surman, a city located in northwest Libya. The body was found with the assistance of local security forces, although no details regarding the individual's identity or nationality have been disclosed at this time.
This incident follows a series of tragic discoveries in the region. Recently, in the neighboring city of Sabratha, Red Crescent teams recovered the bodies of 10 migrants from the waters off the coast between May 12 and 18. These occurrences underscore the perilous journey undertaken by irregular migrants who attempt to cross the Mediterranean in hopes of reaching Europe via unauthorized routes.
Libya continues to serve as a significant departure point for individuals embarking on these risky journeys. The Mediterranean route, fraught with dangers including harsh conditions at sea and exploitation by human traffickers, remains a primary pathway for migrants seeking to escape hardship and pursue better opportunities in Europe. As humanitarian efforts continue in the region, the challenges and risks associated with irregular migration remain pressing concerns for both local authorities and international organizations.
