 During Ramadan, on April 16. a boat carrying African migrants capsized off the Libyan coast.

Six bodies have been retrieved, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Saturday.

Ramadan is being celebrated throughout the Muslim world.

But the holy month is a time of hardship for African labourers in Libya.

Little work and lack of income make it even more difficult for them to provide food – both for themselves and their families back home.
