The Atlantic crossing to Spain's Canary Islands remains dangerous for migrants seeking a better life
A boat carrying migrants along the hazardous Atlantic Ocean route from West Africa to Europe sank off the coast of Senegal, killed at least 34 people, authorities said Sunday. Only one survivor has so far been found, and "an indeterminate number" are still missing.
The incident occurred near Kebemer off the coast of northwestern Senegal. Authorities on El Hierro in the Canary Islands have declared an emergency after a marked increase in migrant boat arrivals.
