Dozens missing at sea are presumed dead after the crew of a fishing boat rescued almost 40 people and recovered several bodies.
According to Senegal's foreign affairs ministry, 38 people were rescued earlier in the week near Cape Verde, about 620 kilometres off the coast of West Africa.
Cheikh Awa Boye, president of the local fishing association, said survivors called home from Cape Verde after the rescue. Boye said two of his nephews were among those missing. The route from West Africa to Spain is one of the world's most dangerous, yet the number of migrants leaving from Senegal on rickety wooden boats has surged over the past year.
