Authorities in Libya made a grim discovery this week as they uncovered nearly 50 bodies from two mass graves in the country's southeastern desert. The first mass grave, containing 19 bodies, was found in the city of Kufra. Images posted on social media showed police officers and medics recovering the bodies, which were wrapped in blankets. The al-Abreen charity reported that some of the victims appeared to have been shot before being buried.
Another mass grave, with at least 30 bodies, was found in Kufra during a raid on a human trafficking center. Survivors indicated that nearly 70 people had been buried in the grave. Authorities are continuing their search in the area for more evidence.
