At least 61 bodies of migrants have been recovered over the past two weeks on the coast west of the Libyan capital Tripoli



The Emergency Medicine and Support Center, under the health ministry, said that the bodies were recovered from the area from Zuwara to Ras Ijdir, near the border with Tunisia.



Another group of 34 bodies was recovered in Zuwara.



It added that 12 bodies were buried, but some others were transported to the morgue for autopsies and documentation.



Pictures of medics were posted on the center's verified Facebook page showing them recovering the bodies from the beaches and placing them in white plastic bags.



In mid-September, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said at least 50 people had died after a vessel carrying 75 Sudanese refugees caught fire off Libya's coast.
