Fifty people have lost their lives after a cayuco (small wooden boat) that departed from Mauritania on 2nd January capsized while en route to the Canary Islands, according to the spokesperson of the Spanish NGO Caminando Fronteras, Helena Maleno.
The tragedy only came to light yesterday, 15th January, when Moroccan authorities rescued 36 survivors from the ill-fated vessel. Caminando Fronteras reported that the cayuco was initially carrying 86 passengers, though the exact number remains uncertain. The survivors endured a harrowing 13 days at sea before their rescue.
Among those on board were at least three women, including a teenage girl who managed to survive the ordeal. The Spanish Maritime Rescue Service was not involved in the operation, which was conducted entirely by Moroccan authorities.
