The founder of Caminando Fronteras raised the alarm on social media platform X about the precarious situation of the vessel, requesting swift coordination for its location and rescue. Currently, no specific details regarding the boat's exact position or the condition of its occupants have been released, nor has there been official confirmation of any search or rescue operations being launched.
“"An inflatable boat with 55 people on board is in danger of sinking on the Atlantic Route. Emergency services are already informed, and urgent coordination is needed to prevent a tragedy."
The Atlantic Route, connecting the African coast with the Canary Islands, remains one of the world's most perilous migratory paths. This is attributed to the long distances involved, adverse weather conditions, and the often fragile nature of the vessels used for the journey.
