At Least Seven Migrants Die on a Boat Carrying 139 People Bound for Spain's Canary Islands Amid a Storm; Rescuers Reached It Early on November 9
At least seven migrants have died aboard a boat carrying 139 people bound for Spain's Canary Islands after a storm hit, Al Jazeera reported on November 9.
Rescuers reached the boat early on Monday, November 9, about 150 kilometres from Arrecife, on Lanzarote. Two bodies have been recovered, and five bodies are missing overboard, bringing the confirmed death count to at least seven.
The report did not publish further details on the number of survivors, the boat's point of departure or the identities of the dead. The Canary Islands, in the Atlantic off Africa's west coast, have for years been a main route for migrants travelling in small boats and dinghies toward Europe. GSM published a summary of the migrant surge to the Canary Islands on November 6; this item is a separate single-boat incident on that route on November 9.
