Gambie : 151 migrants échappent au naufrage après le départ de leur pirogue de Kartong
A new attempt at irregular migration nearly turned into tragedy off the coast of Gambia. On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the Gambian navy rescued 151 people aboard a pirogue that had departed from Kartong, after the vessel began taking on water.
According to reports, the boat, which was in poor condition, quickly encountered difficulties at sea. Faced with the danger, a distress call was issued, triggering the intervention of the Gambian navy. Rescue teams managed to recover all 151 passengers, including four minors. This intervention prevented a possible shipwreck and saved the lives of those on board.
It comes in a context marked by the increasing number of pirogue departures from the Senegalese and Gambian coasts, heading towards the Canary Islands.
