The Libyan Red Crescent’s Ajdabiya branch has recovered the bodies of migrants found along the shores of Al-Aqila, a remote area in southern Sidra Gulf.
According to a statement on its official Facebook page on Thursday, the branch faced challenges in carrying out the operation, including a shortage of body bags and the lack of four-wheel drive vehicles needed to access the location.
Despite these difficulties, the branch’s Body Management Unit successfully completed the mission with the help of volunteers from the Peace Brigade – Brega. The operation was coordinated with the Brega Public Prosecutor’s Office, Al-Aqila Police Station, the Brega Criminal Investigation Department, the Brega Emergency and Ambulance Service, and Sirte Oil Company.
The teams conducted a thorough beach survey to ensure all bodies were retrieved and provided the necessary body bags to local authorities to facilitate future recovery efforts.
This mission is part of the Libyan Red Crescent’s ongoing efforts to support authorities in emergencies, uphold human dignity, and provide humanitarian services impartially, regardless of nationality or ethnicity.
