The found IDs belonged to Egyptian nationals from the Upper Egypt’s governorate of Asyut, Minya and the Egyptian delta governorate of Kafr Al-Sheikh. On Friday the Libyan Red Crescent declared in a statement that it had found corpses of 48 Egyptian illegal migrants in a desert area between the Libyan cities of Tobruk and Ajdabyia. The Libyan Red Crescent’s statement asserted that the 48 discovered migrants were on their way to Libya to work. The organization said that 19 corpses have been lifted from the desert while the other 29 corpses still remain, as there is no means to lift them from the desert. The corpses were found in a rotten state indicating that their deaths took place only a few days before, according to the Libyan Red Crescent.
