SEVENTEEN BODIES RECOVERED IN COMOROS FROM BOAT CARRYING AFRICAN MIGRANTS. (PHOTO).


 Seventeen bodies recovered in Comoros from boat carrying African migrants


Seventeen bodies have been recovered from a boat ‌carrying African migrants that was found on the coast of Comoros, the Indian Ocean archipelago's interior minister said on Thursday.


Authorities ​said they believed the migrants were attempting to ​reach Mayotte, a French territory located between Mozambique ⁠and Madagascar.


The vessel was discovered late on Wednesday after ​residents of the coastal town of Mitsamiouli heard cries for ​help and alerted police, a local hospital director told Reuters.


Comoros Interior Minister Mohamed Ahamada told a press conference that nine bodies ​had been recovered early on Thursday, in addition to ​eight recovered overnight.


He said 30 people on board the boat had ‌survived.


The ⁠hospital director gave a death toll of 18 and said survivors reported they were from the Democratic Republic of Congo.


Ahamada told reporters that most of the migrants ​were from Congo.


Migrants ​often attempt ⁠the dangerous crossing to Mayotte, which - though the poorest of France's overseas territories - offers ​access to the French welfare system.


In 2024, ​at least ⁠25 people died near Mayotte after human traffickers capsized their boat, according to the U.N. migration agency IOM, which ⁠has ​said thousands have died on ​the route over the years.
