Thousands have died in recent years after embarking on boats from the Senegalese coast in order to reach Spain's Canary Islands through the perilous Atlantic route.
据塞内加尔内政部消息,此次倾覆事故仅有一人获救,已打捞起21具遗体。内政部补充称,死亡人数为“暂定”,搜救行动仍在继续。
According to the Senegalese Interior Ministry, only one person was rescued from the capsizing, and 21 bodies were recovered. The ministry added that the toll was "provisional" and that search operations were still ongoing.

周六,内政部强调政府“打击人口走私网络的决心,特别是通过加强与邻国的合作”。塞内加尔当局称,周五拦截了一艘同样试图前往西班牙领土、载有142名移民的船只,船上人员来自多个西非国家。
On Saturday, the ministry stressed the government's "determination to combat people smuggling networks, notably through strengthened cooperation with neighboring countries." Senegalese authorities said they intercepted 142 migrants on a similar boat aimed at reaching Spanish territory on Friday. The boat included nationals of multiple West African countries.

他补充道:“这正是我们宣布紧急状态的原因,以确保与上级机构建立合作框架。”
"This is precisely what has led us to declare an emergency in order to ensure a framework of cooperation with higher-level institutions," he added.

Armas said that conditions at the island's hospital have become "undesirable." El Hierro is home to about 11,400 residents.
