Bodies of African migrants found washed up in Libya when boat carrying hundreds trying to cross to Europe sinks

Bodies of African would-be migrants are washed up on the shore of al-Qarboli, 30 miles east of Tripoli, Libya

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT:
It comes after nearly 200 migrants were feared to have drowned after a boat sank less than a mile from the coast of Libya during an attempted crossing to mainland Europe. The small vessel - which was crammed with men, women and children - sank late on Friday, according to the local coast guard. Abdel-Latif Ibrahim said earlier that 16 people were rescued. He said five of the victims were children.
