At least 30 bodies have been discovered on a boat drifting around 70 kilometers off the coast of Senegal’s capital, Dakar. Each year, thousands are believed to die in what is one of the most dangerous sea routes for migrants in the world.
An investigation has been launched to assess the exact events that led to the deaths. Due to the advanced stage of decomposition of the bodies, further details could not be established at the time of the discovery.
Authorities are now examining where the vessel originated from and when it departed, as well as the identities of the deceased.
