Tripoli,Oct27:The French aid group Doctors without Borders (MSF) said on Wednesday, it had found the bodies of 29 migrants who perished in a pool of fuel and seawater on a crowded dinghy off Libya. MSF said its chartered rescue ship, the Bourbon Argos, picked up 107 people aboard the inflatable boat 26 nautical miles off Libya yesterday. Its crew initially counted 11 corpses on the dinghy’s floor, which was flooded with a murky mixture of fuel and seawater. The MSF team also provided psychological help to survivors, including a man who was left clutching his eight-month-old baby after his wife died. In Rome, Pope Francis pleaded on behalf of migrants and foreigners seeking a better life or safe haven abroad.
