A migrant boat was rescued off the coast of the Canary Islands early Thursday morning. Authorities recovered five bodies from the vessel, while 44 survivors were brought to the port of Arguineguin on Gran Canaria. Three of the survivors were airlifted to a hospital in serious condition due to their medical state.
Reports regarding the total number of casualties vary significantly.
