Authorities in Libya and Greece have recovered the bodies of eight refugees following separate maritime incidents. Five bodies were found washed ashore near Tripoli, Libya, while three others were recovered off the coast of Crete, Greece. Residents of Libya’s coastal town of Qasr al-Akhyar discovered the bodies on Saturday, and local police said more may still be floating at sea.

The Libyan incident occurred just weeks after a rubber boat carrying 55 migrants sank off Zuwara, leaving about 53 people dead or missing, including two children. In Greece, the Athens News Agency reported that a wooden boat carrying migrants and asylum seekers capsized near Crete. Authorities rescued at least 20 survivors, mostly Egyptian and Sudanese nationals, including four minors.

According to ERT, survivors said around 50 people had been on the wooden boat, and another vessel carrying about 40 migrants was spotted nearby, prompting a new rescue operation.
