At least 39 people have died after a migrant boat capsized off the coast of Senegal, with only one survivor found so far. The boat, which departed from Saint-Louis, was heading towards the Spanish coast when it overturned on Friday. The death toll has risen from 21 to 39 as more bodies were discovered on Monday. The vessel was following a well-travelled migration route for thousands of young Senegalese seeking better economic conditions. Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has offered condolences and pledged to clamp down on networks behind the dangerous crossings.
