More than 30 migrants feared dead after small boat headed for Spain's Canary Islands sank

More than 30 migrants are feared dead after a small boat headed for Spain's Canary Islands sank yesterday. Two migration-focused organizations - Walking Borders and Alarm Phone, criticized Spain and Morocco for not intervening earlier to rescue the vessel's



passengers. 

They said the boat held around 60 people. Spain's maritime rescue service said a Moroccan patrol boat rescued 24 people. Neither Spanish nor Moroccan authorities confirmed how many people had been on board the vessel or how many might be missing.
