20 Bodies Recovered in Boat Accident Near Libyan Coast

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

At least 20 people who lost their lives in a boat accident near Azdadia, Benghazi, have been buried, though their identities remain unverified due to the absence of identification documents.

According to Libya’s Red Crescent, the victims are believed to be Bangladeshi nationals. The Bangladesh Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that its embassy in Libya was informed about the burial, as the bodies were already in a decomposed state.

“The deceased had no identification papers, and no one has been able to confirm their nationality with certainty,” the ministry stated. It also noted that the accident occurred within the jurisdiction of the Benghazi government, and embassy officials are still awaiting authorization to visit the site.

The incident highlights ongoing concerns over irregular migration and maritime safety in the region. Further investigations are expected to determine more details about the victims and the circumstances of the tragedy.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
