The Pakistan Foreign Office has issued a list of 21 Pakistani people who survived a boat disaster off the coast of Morocco

Survivors of the Morocco boat tragedy have strongly rejected the notion of an accident that took lives of 21 Pakistanis, instead describing the incident as a "massacre" orchestrated by human smugglers.

“Fifty people have died on a boat headed for the Canary Islands, 44 of whom were Pakistani,” CEO of Caminando Fronteras / Walking Borders Helena Maleno, wrote on X. “They spent 13 agonising days at sea without rescuers reaching them.”

Moroccan authorities rescued 36 people from the boat that had left Mauritania on January 2 with 86 migrants, including 66 Pakistanis, on board.

By most accounts, Gran Canaria is the warmest Canary Island in February, with average maximum temperatures of 22C, and typical lows of around 15C.

The Canary Islands also saw a record breaking number of migrant and refugee arrivals in 2024, with least 46,843 people reaching them.
