Spanish authorities find at least 80 people dead on a boat off the Canary Islands, with reports including a baby among the victims. The deaths are linked to a prolonged journey, with the crossing described as lasting about 26 days at sea.
Inscriptions on the boat’s hull indicate it has travelled from Gambia, according to one outlet. Other reporting focuses on the death toll and the conditions surrounding the discovery rather than on the vessel’s specific origin. Outlets also vary in how they describe the evidence available at the scene, but they broadly align on the location of the find and that the group had been at sea for weeks.
