Over 160 migrants rescued off Mauritania
The Mauritanian Coast Guard narrowly avoided rescuing over 160 migrants, including 17 children, after their boat experienced a engine failure off the coast of Mauritania. The boat was carrying 99 Senegalese nationals, including six women and two children, as well as 56 people from Guinea, including 38 women and 15 children, and 6 Gambians. The journey lasted approximately 8 days from Banjul. They received the necessary care and were transferred to the reception center in Nouakchott, amidst increasing attempts at illegal migration to Europe due to European visa restrictions and heightened border controls. Many of these migrants face the dangers of drowning or getting lost during these perilous sea journeys.
