A Spanish non‑governmental organization has warned that over 80 migrants may have died after a boat departed from The Gambia 27 days ago. The NGO, which monitors human‑rights violations in the region, cited distressing reports from local authorities and eyewitnesses about the vessel’s disappearance and lack of rescue efforts. The incident underscores the ongoing peril faced by migrants attempting the perilous Atlantic crossing from West Africa to Europe, amid heightened security measures and limited search and rescue resources. The organization urges international bodies to intensify monitoring and support for at‑risk travelers.
