Migrant Boat Capsizes Off Gambia, Seven Dead, Dozens Missing

A boat carrying over 200 migrants capsized off the coast of Gambia, resulting in at least seven deaths and dozens missing. The vessel, en route to Spain's Canary Islands, capsized near the North Bank region. Authorities recovered seven bodies and rescued 96 individuals, many with serious injuries. The Gambian navy conducted a search-and-rescue operation. This incident highlights the perilous journey many West African migrants undertake to reach Europe, despite increased preventive measures.
