The bodies of three migrants have been recovered after a vessel sank off the coast of western Libya.

The International Organization for Migration said another 13 people were unaccounted for.

Twenty-two survivors were rescued and brought back to Libya by fishing boats.

Many migrants set out from Libya, from where they try to cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe - often aboard dangerously overcrowded and unseaworthy boats.
