Nine confirmed drowned and at least 48 missing after a migrant boat capsized off Spain's Canary Islands, marking the latest tragedy in a series of such disasters.
Anselmo Pestana noted that survivors indicated the boat may have had as many as 90 people on board, highlighting the perilous conditions faced by migrants in their journey.
The survivors endured two days without food or water, which contributed to the panic that caused the boat to capsize, emphasizing the dire circumstances of their voyage.
Regional president Fernando Clavijo stressed the need for Spain and the EU to take decisive action against the ongoing humanitarian crisis as lives are lost near Europe.
