Five migrants die after boat drifts for weeks in Atlantic en route to Canary Islands
At least five African migrants lost their lives after their overcrowded boat, carrying over 100 people, ran into serious trouble in the Atlantic Ocean. Forty-four survivors were rescued and transferred to safety near Gran Canaria, Spain. According to survivors, the vessel was adrift for close to a month with little to no food or water supplies. Desperate conditions led many onboard to drink seawater, resulting in widespread dehydration and illness. The Atlantic crossing to the Canary Islands continues to be one of the most perilous migration routes in the world.
