At least 35 people died after a small boat carrying migrants capsized off the coast of northwestern Senegal, according to emergency services.

An initial statement from the Senegalese interior ministry reported 21 bodies recovered and only a single survivor, and the official Senegalese Press Agency (APS) and the rights group Action for Human Rights and Friendship (ADHA) raised the toll to at least 34 and then to 35 by Sunday night. Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye said on Facebook that “all state authorities and resources have been mobilized to locate those who have gone missing, provide care for the survivors and support families.” On Saturday, authorities on the Canary Island of El Hierro declared an emergency after more than 3,300 people arrived aboard approximately 30 boats since the start of November.
