An unprecedented nearly 5,000 migrants have died at sea in the first five months of 2024 trying to reach the Spanish Canary Islands, according to a report released by migration rights group Walking Borders on Wednesday.
Between Jan. 1 and May 31, 4,808 people died on the Atlantic voyage to the Canaries after departing from Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and Gambia, making it the deadliest route between Africa and Spain, with 95% of migrant deaths, according to the group.

Bored now.
You were close to deleting my comments, you gave me a last warning, yet you did not provide any sources yourself. That’s not a source as mentioned because it isn’t about illegal crossing, it’s intentionally misleading. So provide a source. You know if this was the other way around and you provided the sources I did and I just gave you a misleading source my comments would be deleted.
You know things I say to be right you’re just hoping I conceded my position. You thrown your weight around and keep talking about your powerful position as a mod to intimidate me.
All I asked was for sources and the conversation has degraded to this.
This will be my last comment because why would I talk to you? You care more about winning and being a mod than you do about discussing or learning. I hope you learn to improve yourself. Good day.
I gave you a warning that I would delete your comments for misinformation. You supported them so I did not delete them. I said as much at the time, so I’m not why you’re engaging in this fantasy.
We will see if your ‘this will be my last comment’ claim will be true.
