Coast guards in Kafr al-Sheikh have recovered six bodies of undocumented African migrants from the Mediterranean Sea.
Samir Ghobashy, president of Baltim City, said that the bodies belonged to illegal African migrants who drowned in the sea and were lifted off the city of Baltim.
The bodies were transferred to Balteem Central Hospital morgue to identify them and take legal action regarding the incident.
In Beheira, border guards foiled an attempt of 18 different nationalities to illegally immigrate through sea to Italy.
The 18 nationalities included two Egyptians, a Syrian, nine Somalis and seven Yemenis.
They were arrested and named four people who helped them in return for money.
