More than 80 people die after a small fishing vessel departing from Gambia drifts at sea for weeks en route to the Canary Islands. Multiple outlets report that the boat is carrying 128 people and is believed to have been adrift for roughly 26 days, leaving limited prospects for survivors.
The reports say an infant is among those who die. They describe the incident as unfolding after the vessel loses its way and remains at sea for an extended period before help is able to reach it. While the outlets align on the broad facts—route, approximate time adrift, number aboard, and the death toll—wording differs in emphasis, with some specifically highlighting the presence of a baby and describing the story as breaking.
Overall, the coverage focuses on the scale of the loss of life and the length of time the boat is believed to be adrift, without presenting differing details about responsibility or specific rescue circumstances in the provided excerpts.
