The boat tipped as rescuers began to evacuate minors after reaching the island of El Hierro port. Spanish emergency services suspect more individuals may be missing, and rescuers managed to save several lives, including two children in critical condition. This incident underscores the perilous journeys taken by migrants traveling from Africa to Europe, with thousands risking their lives annually.
Local media reports indicate that a small vessel, obscured by reports to be carrying over 100 individuals, capsized off the Canary Islands, leading to fatalities.
Spanish emergency services confirmed that upon approaching the port, the boat tipped over due to the sudden movement of its crowded occupants, resulting in tragic losses.
