Tragédie en Gambie : Nouveau naufrage d'une embarcation de migrants
A tragedy occurred off the coast of Gambia on New Year's Eve. A boat carrying more than 200 passengers capsized in the North Bank region (northwest of the country). These people were attempting to reach Europe by sea.
The Gambian president gave an update on the situation this Friday. Although the search continues actively, the death toll remains high.
"Search and rescue operations are continuing relentlessly to locate those still missing," the head of state said.
The exact causes of this shipwreck have not yet been determined. However, this tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of the West African migration route.
This tragedy echoes a similar disaster that occurred in August 2025 , where nearly 150 people perished or disappeared off the coast of Mauritania after leaving the Gambian coast.
