Search for close to fifty migrants after a boat overturns in the Alboran Sea

The search continues by air and by sea for the forty-nine migrants who disappeared from a boat that was spotted yesterday afternoon in Almería. Only three people could be rescued; seemingly, the only ones wearing a life jacket. They are now recovering in the Torrecárdenas hospital.

Three people rescued; forty-nine missing: these are the figures from the latest tragedy in the Strait. The search continues in the Alboran Sea for possible survivors from a semi-sunk boat, which was intercepted yesterday with three young people on board who are now hospitalised in Almería. According to their story, a wave overturned the vessel and all passengers fell into the sea. Only these three were able to save themselves.
