Media sources in Libya stated that Libyan coast guards rescued 200 illegal migrants from drowning last night, after their rubber boat crashed on their route to Italy, off the coast of Tripoli.
The sources added that the migrants had come from different areas, including Syrian refugees and that they were taken to a private camp in Libya until their case is investigated.
One of the Syrian migrants said that the high waves and overcrowded boat caused it to crash, while another migrant revealed that 30 women and 20 children were on board.
Libya is considered to be one of the active countries in smuggling migrants from North Africa. Thousands of Palestinian refugees have passed to Europe through it, while thousands are waiting in Turkey, Lebanon and Egypt for a suitable time to head to Europe, to escape from the ongoing war in Syria and end their suffering from displacement to Syria through all routes, especially through the sea.
