The bodies of 132 migrants trying to reach Europe have been found on western Libyan beaches over the past 4 days, the Red Crescent and a local official said Sunday, June 5. All except 3 washed up on beaches in the town of Zuwarah, while the rest were found on a beach in Mellitah 20 kilometers (12 miles) further east. People smugglers have exploited the chaos gripping Libya since the 2011 uprising that overthrew dictator Moamer Kadhafi to traffic migrants across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. Thousands of migrants try each year to make the crossing, but many drown when their boats founder.
