Eleven bodies, including that of a child, were recovered by the Libyan Coast Guard after a migrant boat capsized off the coast of Garabulli near the capital, Tripoli on Tuesday. The migrants were from Pakistan, Syria, Tunisia and Egypt. The boat, which was heading towards the Italian coast, was carrying 78 people, including children. The Coast Guard managed to rescue 67 people, including a child, who were reportedly in good health and on their way to the shores. One of the survivors, an Egyptian, said that the boat was overloaded, and despite his attempts to convince the boat's drivers to lighten the load, they shouted in objection.
