Spanish human rights NGO, Caminando Fronteras, has accused four national authorities and the European Union's border patrol agency, Frontex, of failing to prevent the deaths of dozens of migrants off West Africa. The NGO alleges that despite being warned about the boat weeks before, the authorities did not make sufficient efforts to rescue the migrants. At least 60 people are presumed dead, but Caminando Fronteras believes the death toll is 92, with 130 people on board the boat when it left Senegal. The NGO claims that survivors ran out of oil, food, and water, and if the authorities had searched for them, no one would have died. Caminando Fronteras also alleges that Frontex, while active in the region, does not provide assistance when required. The relevant authorities and Frontex have not yet responded to the allegations.
