Ten bodies found in dinghy off Libyan coast

ROME, Nov 5, (APP/AFP) – Ten bodies were recovered on Saturday from a rubber dinghy off the Libyan coast, the Italian coastguard said, adding that 2,200 other migrants were rescued during the day. Sixteen rescue operations were conducted Saturday — almost twice as many as on Friday when 1,200 people were rescued. An AFP correspondent aboard the Topaz Responder, a search and rescue ship chartered by Maltese NGO MOAS and the Italian Red Cross, saw several hundred people, including children, being rescued on Friday and Saturday.
