* The bodies of 61 migrants have been recovered from Libya's west coast over the past two weeks. The Emergency Medicine and Support Centre said on Saturday that the dead were found along the coast west of Tripoli between the city of Zuwara and the town Ras Ijdir on Libya's border with Tunisia. The country has become a transit route for migrants fleeing across the Mediterranean to Europe in an effort to escape conflict and poverty since the fall in 2011 of dictator Muammar Qaddafi. But the way across the central Mediterranean is one of the world's most dangerous maritime migration routes.
