44 Migrants Die In Niger Desert

At least 44 migrants, including women and babies, were found dead after their vehicle broke down in the desert of northern Niger while on the way to Libya, local officials said Thursday.

“The number of migrants who died in the desert is 44 for now,” said Rhissa Feltou, the mayor of Agadez, a remote town on the edge of the Sahara that has become the smuggling capital of Africa.

The Red Cross, which said “at least 44 migrants have died”, has dispatched a team to the site “to gather information” on the circumstances.

A security source who asked not to be named said “the sub-Saharan migrants, including babies and women, died of thirst because their vehicle broke down”.

In early May, eight migrants from Niger, five of them children, were found dead in the desert while on their way to Algeria.

Also in May, soldiers on patrol in northern Niger rescued around 40 migrants from various West African countries who had been abandoned in the desert by people-smugglers while travelling to Libya.

The group included citizens of The Gambia, Nigeria, Guinea, Senegal and Niger, all hoping to reach the Libyan coast so they could cross the Mediterranean to Europe.

Ariel Winter has admitted she still feels 'uncomfortable' about her body at times.

The 19-year-old actress is known for speaking out about body positivity, and has said that while she accepts that her body is 'who she is,' she also admits to Refinery29 she still has days where she doesn’t like the way she looks, as she claims it is 'hard' to be positive all the time.

The Modern Family actress said,

'Because I’m honest about my insecurities, people think I’m 100 percent positive about my body all the time, but I’m not.'

The cover girl then added: 'I get really uncomfortable, too. But I just remind myself that this is the body I was given. This is who I am.'

Despite not always feeling positive, the actress - who underwent breast reduction surgery in 2015 - says she's 'comfortable in a bathing suit,' and no longer cares about what people think of her.

She added: 'When I got the breast reduction it helped me feel so much better about my body.
