Migrants die in shipping container in attempt to flee Libya
Group appear to have been locked inside for several days as container was transported to coast at Khoms
The bodies of 27 migrants have been recovered in western Libya, 13 of whom died of suffocation in a shipping container, the Red Crescent said on Thursday.

The migrants found in the container appear to have been locked inside it for several days as it was transported to the coast at Khoms, where they were to attempt to cross the Mediterranean towards Europe, the Red Crescent said in a statement.

Fifty-six people were rescued from the container, some suffering from serious injuries and fractures, the statement said.

Sometimes on the border, one hears about illegal immigrants being trapped in freight trucks moving them and often, suffering from the heat and even dying. This sounds similar. Horrible and another risk for those in this kind of migration.

More death and suffering as a result of liberals and their social engineering.
