"Forty-two bodies have been recovered: 31 were buried on the spot and 11 others will be during the day," said Tahar Souid, coordinator of the emergency centre set up at Ben Guerdane in southeast Tunisia where the first bodies were discovered on Friday. By Saturday evening when the search was called off for the night, the body count from the sinking, thought to have happened off the Libyan coast, had reached 41. The victims were found in an area that has seen many boatloads of illegal migrants capsize. The director of El Ketf port, Fethi Abaab, said on Saturday that women were among the cadavers.
