Authorities say eight bodies have been recovered along migration routes in Libya and Greece, as the number of deaths linked to dangerous crossings in the Mediterranean Sea continues to climb.
Officials reported that some of the victims were discovered on shorelines while others were found after search operations at sea. The incidents are believed to be connected to attempts by migrants and refugees to reach Europe using overcrowded or unsafe boats.
Humanitarian organisations warn that the Mediterranean remains one of the world’s deadliest migration routes, with many people risking their lives to escape conflict, poverty, or instability. Rescue groups have renewed calls for stronger search-and-rescue efforts and safer legal pathways for migration.
Investigations are ongoing to identify the victims and determine the exact circumstances surrounding the latest deaths.
