🚨 BREAKING: Another Migrant Boat Departs from The Gambia 🇬🇲

Yesterday, Thursday, 27 August 2026, a migrant boat reportedly departed from Foni Bintang, The Gambia, heading towards Spain's Canary Islands.

According to the information received so far, the boat left with hundreds of people on board. However, hundreds of other prospective migrants were reportedly left behind and could not join the journey.

I am currently making further enquiries to establish the exact number of people who successfully departed, as well as more details about the boat and its journey.

I will continue to follow the situation closely and publish any further developments as soon as I receive confirmed information.

🙏🏿 We pray for their safety and protection throughout this dangerous journey.

Hundreds of migrants remain stranded in Ceuta , the Spanish enclave on Morocco’s northern coast, after a recent surge in arrivals. Between 2,500 and 5,000 people are still in the territory, while most of the more than 70,000 migrants who arrived from Morocco last week have since departed.

Many are sleeping outdoors, on beaches, or in a cemetery, while others wait for space in already overcrowded reception centres. Despite limited resources, local residents and associations continue to provide food, blankets, shelter, and other forms of assistance.
Among those helping is Hamza Moreno, who has supported unaccompanied minors in registering with NGOs and finding temporary accommodation. He says the number of arrivals has overwhelmed the capacity of local authorities.
Ceuta officials are calling for the transfer of unaccompanied minors to mainland Spain, where reception facilities are better equipped to assist them.

Violence and vandalism erupted in the Moroccan border town of Fnideq as thousands of people—mostly young men—launched a mass attempt to cross into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta via the Bab Sebta frontier and nearby coastal routes. Moroccan security forces responded with water cannons, tear gas and large-scale arrests, while several vehicles, including a bus, were set on fire during overnight clashes.

The unrest coincided with a wider surge in which Spain estimated around 49,000 migrants entered Ceuta from Morocco within 24 hours, prompting Madrid to deploy troops to help restore order. Rights groups reported at least 18 deaths linked to the crisis, many from drowning and others in a stampede at the breakwater fence.

Thousands of arrivals, including unaccompanied children, were left sleeping in public spaces in Ceuta, while Moroccan authorities tightened controls around Fnideq to prevent further mass crossings.

Spanish 🇪🇸 rescue services rescued a boat that had departed from Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 with 54 Sub-Saharan migrants on board, including six women.

The survivors were transferred to El Hierro in the Canary Islands and taken into the care of the Spanish Red Cross.

Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta has declared an “absolute humanitarian and social emergency” after more than 1,500 migrants—many of them minors—swam from Morocco over the past week, overwhelming reception centres and prompting calls for military intervention. The crisis escalated on Thursday when law enforcement opened border gates, allowing thousands more to cross into the territory as crowds surged through checkpoints and climbed barriers.

Ceuta’s president, Juan Jesús Vivas, said facilities for unaccompanied minors are operating at about 2,400% of capacity and urged Madrid to declare a national emergency and assume a “single command” to manage the situation. Authorities report an average of around 300 arrivals per day, with some days seeing over 800 attempted crossings, straining shelter, health and security resources.

Spain and Morocco have agreed to work on returning migrants as soon as possible, while Red Cross teams and local services provide urgent aid to those arriving exhausted and in need of medical care. The surge marks another sharp spike in Ceuta’s recurring migration pressures, reviving debates over border control, reception capacity and EU-level support for the enclave.

TRAGIC UPDATE!

A boat carrying Gambian migrants 🇬🇲😭

The six-month-old baby, rescued in critical condition from a migrant canoe that left Foni (The Gambia), has unfortunately died at La Candelaria Hospital in Tenerife.

The infant had been airlifted by helicopter from El Hierro after the vessel, carrying 165 people, was rescued in the area known as “Mar de las Calmas” (Sea of Calms). The boat was towed to the port of La Restinga, where medical teams provided emergency first aid. A woman was declared dead on arrival, while about fifteen survivors were hospitalized due to their critical condition.

We have also received information that a Gambian migrant died during the crossing and his body was thrown into the sea. We are currently trying to verify this information. Once his identity and the circumstances of the tragedy are confirmed, we will publish a verified update.

We offer my sincere condolences to all the families who have lost a loved one. May Allah (SWT) grant the deceased Jannatul Firdaus (the highest level of Paradise) and give patience and strength to their families. Ameen. 🤲🕊️
