TEHRAN, Jul 3 - The aid group Doctors Without Borders says the detention center cell struck by an overnight airstrike in Libya held 126 migrants.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The group's Libya medical coordinator, Prince Alfani, said teams visited the center just hours before the airstrike and saw 126 people inside the cell that was destroyed early Wednesday. Alfani says survivors fear for their lives, and he called for immediate evacuation of everyone in the detention centers.
No one has claimed responsibility for the airstrike, which the U.N. says killed at least 44 people and wounded more than 130.
The airstrike hit around the same time as a phone call came in from a man saying he was among 60 people in a boat sinking off the coast of Libya, including 20 women and small children, according to Alarm Phone, which takes emergency phone calls from migrants.
There was no word on the fate of the boat.
