Nearly 700 lives are feared to be at risk, 15 days after four migrant boats departed from The Gambia bound for the Canary Islands in Spain.
According to Ebrima Migrant Situation, the boats, carrying between 600 and 700 people, left on March 29. Two of the vessels departed from Tanji, while one each left from Kartong and Gunjur.
Their current location remains unknown, as there has been no confirmation of their arrival in Spain or reports of interception in Morocco, Mauritania, or Senegal.
“I believe they are out of food, water and fuel,” Ebrima Migrant stated, raising concerns about the fate of those on board.
