Many migrants are feared dead outside Western Sahara

Helena Maleno, who is the founder of the organization Walking Borders, writes on Twitter that she has spoken to one of the ten survivors. The woman said she lost two children in the shipwreck.

Moroccan authorities in Dakla have not confirmed the sinking. According to local media, twelve people have been found dead along the coast, while ten survivors were rescued by fishermen.

The boat with migrants was on its way to the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
