At least twelve people have died and several others remain missing after a migrant vessel sank off the coast of Gambia. The tragedy occurred as individuals attempted the perilous maritime journey from West Africa in an effort to reach Europe.
According to the International Organization for Migration, heightened security and patrols at traditional departure points in Morocco, Mauritania, and Senegal have altered migration patterns. These increased controls have forced desperate migrants seeking European entry to embark from further south, including nations like The Gambia.
