| Rescue workers in northern Senegal are overwhelmed as they | |
| try to find survivors and retrieve bodies after a boat carrying migrants sank. | |
| The governor of the coastal city of Saint-Louis estimates that | |
| dozens may have died, most thought to be women. | |
| The overloaded vessel left the southern town of Joal two | |
| weeks ago with nearly 300 on board, the authorities say. | |
| It is likely the boat was heading to the Canary Islands, a | |
| Spanish territory. | |
| This one of the most dangerous routes for migrants as they | |
| usually sail in dugout fishing boats that are easily tossed by powerful | |
| currents. | |
| Saint-Louis Governor Alioune Badara Samb told local media | |
| that firefighters involved in the rescue missions were struggling to cope. | |
| Administrative buildings are being used to house and treat the | |
| survivors, many of whom are Guinean and Senegalese nationals. | |
| It is not clear how many people have died as the number of | |
| casualties keeps rising. President Macky Sall expressed his condolences on X, | |
| formerly Twitter. | |
| The number of migrants leaving from Senegal’s shores on | |
| wooden boats has surged over the past year despite the dangers and many boat | |
| tragedies. | |
