The Spanish authorities, who had initially announced on Monday that they had found eleven lifeless bodies off the archipelago, corrected their assessment in the evening to announce that 14 people had been found alive and that no dead had been found.
“Fourteen people” traveling in the type of makeshift boat the migrants took “were recovered alive. No fatal victim has been located for the moment ”, indicated the prefecture of the Balearic Islands, specifying that three suspected missing persons were still wanted.
