At least 89 migrants dead after boat capsizes off Mauritania
ai generated text
According to reports, a traditional fishing boat carrying 170 passengers, including migrants and refugees, set sail from the border of Senegal and Gambia. The boat capsized off the coast of Mauritania on July 1, resulting in the deaths of at least 89 people, with dozens still missing. Nine survivors were rescued by the Mauritanian coast guard, including a five-year-old girl. The incident highlights the risks faced by migrants attempting to reach Europe from West Africa, as Mauritania is a key transit point for these journeys.
Refugees and migrants are increasingly traversing areas where insurgent groups, militias and other criminal actors operate, and where human trafficking, kidnapping for ransom, forced labour and sexual exploitation are rife.
