## Resource

A chilling maritime tragedy unfolded in the Atlantic as a boat carrying West African migrants drifted for days, leaving at least 5 dead and 44 survivors rescued off Spain’s Canary Islands—though rights groups fear the true toll may soar to over 80. The men, many underage, described a brutal voyage fueled by desperation, dwindling supplies, and seawater. With origins in Mali and Senegal, they set sail from Gambia with possibly 100 aboard, enduring conditions so dire rescue teams couldn’t recover bodies. This perilous route remains a deadly gamble for those fleeing poverty and instability in West Africa, chasing hope across treacherous seas.
