| At least 24 people seeking to go to Europe have drowned off the coast of northern Senegal when their boat sank, local officials say. | |
| Governor Alioune Badara Samb told AFP news agency their bodies were found on Wednesday. | |
| The boat got caught in the Saint Louis estuary, where the Senegal River meets the Atlantic Ocean, which is known for its strong currents and areas of thick mud. | |
| Witnesses say the ship was carrying more than 300 people. | |
| The governor says it is unclear how many people were on board. Several survivors managed to reach shore. | |
| President Macky Sall expressed "deep sadness" and his condolences for the victims' families on X, formerly known as Twitter. | |
| "The relevant authorities have been mobilised to provide them with support and assistance," he said. | |
| Senegal's coast is a common exit point for migrants fleeing poverty and unemployment. | |
