The bodies of more than a dozen migrants who drowned trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe washed up on Libya’s coastline late on Saturday, its interior ministry and the local Red Crescent said.

Attempted crossings from North Africa have surged this year, with more than 23 000 migrants or refugees reported as having been intercepted by the Libyan coastguard by September.

The Red Crescent in Khums, a port in western Libya, said 17 bodies including that of an infant had been recovered from the shore at nearby Alous on Saturday and that another 10 bodies had been found on a different beach. It was not clear from the statements if they were all referring to the same group and interior ministry officials were not immediately available for comment.
