“Rescuers have found the decomposed bodies of 87 migrants in the harsh Niger desert, some of them eaten by jackals, local officials said, the country’s worst such tragedy in a decade. The victims, nearly all of them women and children, had been trying to reach neighbouring Algeria but are believed to have died of thirst when their truck broke down, according to a senior security source in Niger.”
