The UN’s organization for migration, IOM, now states that at least 140 people died when a migrant boat caught fire and capsized off Senegal last Saturday.
The boat had 200 passengers and around 60 could later be rescued by ships from Senegal and Spain. This is the deadliest accident with a migrant boat this year according to the IOM. The boat was on its way to the Canary Islands.
