Two survive death as 49 die of thirst in the Great Desert
Nigerien authorities announced that 49 people died of thirst in the Sahara Desert after their truck, en route from Mali to Niger, broke down. The incident occurred in a remote area near the border between Mali and Algeria when the truck went off course and stopped, leading to the depletion of water and the victims' deaths amid high temperatures and harsh conditions. The bodies were found and buried in mass graves, with rescue workers confirming they discovered the victims after being unable to repair the vehicle or reach supply points. Many young people from Niger are heading to Mali to work in informal mining, despite security risks.
