The Spanish police has confirmed that 49 people have lost their life while trying to reach Spain with a dinghy.
They had left the Moroccan city of Al-Hoceima four days ago, according to a Human Rights NGO. They were aiming to reach the border of Melilla, 130 kilometres away.
One 17-year-old and two adult men have been rescued, but “there are no news” about the other passengers. The police said the chance to find more survivors is very low.
