Kapital FM 92.9 The Station that Rocks!
Spanish rescuers are searching waters off the Canary Islands for a boat carrying at least 200 African migrants who went missing more than a week ago.
The aid group Walking Borders says the fishing boat sailed from Kafountine, a coastal town in southern Senegal that is roughly 1,700km (1,057 miles) from Tenerife.
The group says many children are on board, Spain’s Efe news agency reports. Two similar boats carrying dozens more people are also said to be missing.
The news comes just weeks after Europe saw one of its worst Mediterranean migrant shipwrecks, when an overcrowded trawler sank off the Greek coast.
At least 78 people were confirmed drowned, but the United Nations (UN) reported that up to 500 were still missing.
