Canary Islands disaster as boat carrying migrants sinks off coast with 30 feared dead

At least 30 migrants are feared to have died when a boat sank off the Canary Islands.

Moroccan authorities are reported to have rescued 24 people off the ship in the North Atlantic - but human rights charities say around 60 may have been on board, with many of them remaining unaccounted for.

Helena Maleno Garzon, from the charity Walking Borders, estimated that the number of dead stood at 39 - and said people on the craft may have waited for longer than 12 hours before help arrived.
