30 decomposing bodies found on a drifting boat off Dakar, Senegal; investigation ongoing.

At least 30 decomposing bodies were discovered on a boat drifting off the coast of Dakar, Senegal. The Senegalese military reported the finding after the navy was alerted on September 22. The advanced decomposition complicates identification efforts. Migrants often use this route to reach the Canary Islands, aiming for Europe, with over 22,300 arriving this year, a 126% increase from last year. An investigation into the incident is underway.
