"Two survivors in critical condition have been hospitalized," a coastguard spokeswoman told the AFP news agency. The survivors told rescue workers that they had lost control of the vessel during a severe storm, leaving those on board stranded in the open sea without access to water, food, or proper shelter. According to local reports, the coastguard said that the migrants had been dead for over a day by the time the boat was located.

Local media reports indicate that a small vessel, obscured by reports to be carrying over 100 individuals, capsized off the Canary Islands, leading to fatalities.
