  + stars: | 2023-08-17 | by ( Mike Ives | More About Mike Ives | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
More than 60 migrants are believed to have died after a boat carrying them from Senegal capsized in the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Verde, the authorities said this week. The boat capsized at some point after leaving Senegal on July 10, the Reuters news agency reported on Wednesday, citing the Senegalese Foreign Ministry. A Spanish fisherman found the boat floating about 150 miles north of Cape Verde’s Salt Island, the country’s national police said on Monday. The islands of Cape Verde lie several hundred miles west of Senegal. She said seven people had been confirmed dead and 56 others were still missing.

☆ Cape Verde: At least 60 migrants feared dead in boat disaster

CNN —At least 60 migrants are presumed dead after a boat disaster off Cape Verde, West Africa, according to the International Organization on Migration (IOM). The Cape Verde archipelago consists of 10 islands and is located in the North Atlantic about 570 kilometers (about 350 miles) off the extreme western tip of Africa. It is unclear whether the migrants intended to reach Cape Verde as their final destination, or whether they were heading for the Canary Islands, another archipelago around 1,500 kilometers to the north. The Canary Islands are part of Spain, and in recent years have become an increasingly popular destination for migrants from West Africa trying to reach Europe. A total of 9,864 migrants have arrived by boat to the Canary Islands this year through August 15, a 4.7% decline compared with the same period last year, Spain’s interior ministry reported.

DAKAR, Aug 16 (Reuters) - More than 60 people are feared dead after a boat carrying mostly Senegalese migrants capsized off the coast of Cape Verde in the Atlantic Ocean. The boat left Senegal on July 10 with 101 passengers on board, and 38 people were rescued on Tuesday, Senegal's foreign ministry said in a statement late on Tuesday. The survivors were on the Cape Verde island of Sal, where Senegal is liaising with authorities for their repatriation, the ministry said. At least 15 people drowned when a boat carrying migrants capsized off the coast of Senegal's capital Dakar in late July.

GENEVA, April 28 (Reuters) - Chad conducted its first evacuation flights from Sudan carrying more than 200 people, including dozens of children, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Friday.

IOM spokesperson Safa Msehli told Reuters that two more flights were arriving on Friday. She said the flights that landed in Chad on Thursday had students, elderly people, individuals with medical conditions and "extremely vulnerable families" on board.

At least fifty-five people drowned after their boat sank off the coast of Libya, the United Nations migration agency said on Wednesday, the latest in a series of deadly accidents in just a few days involving migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe. The rubber boat, carrying 60 people, left Tuesday morning from Garabouli, a small town a few dozen miles east of Tripoli, Libya’s capital, according to the agency, the International Organization for Migration. Only five survivors were brought to shore by the Libyan coast guard. “This is a very high number of lives,” said Safa Msehli, a spokeswoman for the organization. “That is a very, very dangerous thing.”Human rights organizations have for years protested the lack of preventive search and rescue patrols by countries around the Mediterranean.
