 Libya recovers 15 bodies of migrants east of capital Tripoli The bodies of at least 15 migrants have washed ​ashore in Libya in a ‌coastal city east of the capital, Tripoli-based medics said on Monday, Reuters reported. The Emergency ​Medicine and Support Centre, ​which operates under the health ministry, ⁠said the bodies washed up ​in Khumas city, some 118 ​km (73 miles) east of Tripoli. The centre said all the bodies have been buried. Pictures ​were posted by the centre ​on its Facebook page showing their medics ‌wearing ⁠white hazmat suits carrying bodies in black and white plastic bags and other pictures taken during ​the burials. Since ​an uprising ⁠in 2011, Libya has become a North African ​transit route for hundreds ​of ⁠thousands of migrants fleeing conflict and poverty, often in sub-Saharan Africa, ⁠with ​many risking dangerous journeys ​across the desert or the Mediterranean.

 PROPERTY DESTROYED AS FIRE GUTS BUILDING BEHIND MAKURDI INTERNATIONAL SECONDARY SCHOOL 

A fire broke out Wednesday night behind Makurdi International Secondary School, opposite Gwuve U Tiv residence, destroying a building and raising fears among residents.


The blaze reportedly started at a carpentry workshop after the owners burned refuse in a gutter outside their shop and left without ensuring it was fully out. By 8:00 pm, the fire had spread to wooden furniture stored nearby, intensifying the flames.


The fire soon engulfed an adjacent building rented by a church, prompting passersby to raise the alarm. Initial attempts to reach the Federal Fire Service were delayed as access to their station was blocked by road reconstruction.


The Benue State Fire Service eventually arrived and brought the fire under control, preventing further damage to neighboring buildings.

No injuries have been reported, but property losses are yet to be fully assessed. Residents expressed concern over the dangers of unattended fires and called for better preparedness in emergencies.


State fire officials have urged residents and business owners to exercise caution when disposing of waste and to ensure fires are fully extinguished to prevent similar incidents.
