A migrant boat capsized in Senegalese waters, killing 39 people with only one passenger rescued, according to the Senegalese Interior Ministry.
The boat left Saint-Louis in northern Senegal and was heading for the Spanish coast when it overturned on Sunday near the town of Kébémer, north of Dakar. Authorities identified 24 of the 39 victims and returned their bodies to their families, while 11 others are still awaiting identification. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said two accidents involving migrants in boats over the weekend left at least 56 people dead, including 13 bodies recovered south of Crete, in Greece. A survivor estimated that at least 150 people were on board.
