17 migrants die in Spain shipwreck
Seventeen migrants lost their lives while attempting to reach the Spanish Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, after a journey that lasted 15 days, according to Spanish authorities, who denied the possibility of verifying the deaths of the remaining passengers. Rescue teams also saved two migrants who were on a boat adrift at sea for 15 days; the vessel was carrying around 19 people, who were found in a deteriorated health condition due to dehydration and malnutrition. In another context, 17 migrants were rescued and two bodies were retrieved from another boat carrying approximately 30 people, as searches for the missing continue. This is amidst an ongoing wave of irregular crossings that has led to the entry of 72,000 migrants into Ceuta since early July, with about 77 people dying while attempting to cross the maritime barriers.
