At least 96 people were rescued, many of whom were seriously hurt, and seven bodies were found, according to authorities.
Following a distress call, the Gambian navy conducted a search-and-rescue mission that involved several naval vessels and a fishing boat that came to aid, according to the statement.
The shipwrecked vessel was later discovered “grounded into a sandbank,” according to the Defense Ministry.
Authorities are currently identifying the identities of several of the victims, whose identities have been changed to those of others, according to the statement.
By boat from West Africa to Spain’s Canary Islands, which is a gateway to continental Europe, the Gambia has become a jumping-off point for migrants and asylum seekers.
In 2024, more than 46 000 migrants arrived in the Canary Islands, according to the European Union.
The rights organization Caminando Fronteras claims that more than 10,000 people died while crossing the Atlantic, a 58 percent increase over the same period in 2023.
The Frontex border agency attributes the decline to stronger prevention efforts by departure countries, which is explained by the fact that irregular migration into the EU along the West African route decreased by 60% in the first 11 months of 2025.
Migrants and asylum seekers continue to travel on fragile and frequently overcrowded vessels to Europe.

Emmerdale villain Celia Daniels was played by Jaye Griffiths.
After playing the roles in The Bill, Silent Witness, EastEnders, Doctors, and Casualty, actress Jaye Griffiths describes it as a tragic loss for one of her best roles. But she was aware that the wicked drug dealer would have to come to an appropriately grizzly conclusion. And who better than fellow villain Ray, who Joe Absolom brilliantly played, would be able to carry her punishment?
When Ray refuses to leave the village, because he’s fallen in love with Laurel Thomas and wants a new life, he and Celia have a furious clash and he delivers the fatal blows. Jaye, 62, admits: “Working on Emmerdale has been one of my best TV jobs ever. “There is still that thing of women being maternal, caring and the givers. Celia was none of these and I’ve loved playing her.

It took me ages to learn my lines because I was so wary of it happening, and it has also been very difficult to accept the reality of leaving. I nearly cried at the conclusion of the episode, and then I had to lie on the cold floor and pretend to be dead. It has been a challenging situation.
She has been praised by fellow Emmerdale actors for her portrayal of evil Celia, who has been hailed as one of the soap’s worst characters ever. Given that the soap has featured everyone from serial killers to rapists, Jaye considers this a significant accomplishment.
She claims that hearing this because there have been some truly excellent ones [villains] is flattering. “Celia has been a shocker, and I’m glad I didn’t avoid having no scruples, not even half a one.” She did it if she threatened to hurt someone when she said it.
I found the release to be that unfeeling, and I’ve missed the soap a lot since filming finished. It’s been incredibly difficult to suddenly have no scenes to learn or call sheets. Jaye, who arrived in the Dales in June, has had a life-changing experience.
Some of Celia’s most heinous deeds include forcing April to engage in prostitution, human trafficking, operating a modern slavery camp, and extorting money wherever possible, including from Rhona and Marlon Dingle.
She also brainwashed Ray into calling her ‘mum,’ while hiding behind a front of an ordinary farmer. And in November, Jaye disclosed how she had been the victim of crime herself, when she broke down on ITV’s Loose women and told how she had once been involved with an abusive partner.
She revealed that if you made the tea the wrong way, it might have consequences. She is now happily married. I was told I was pointless. She is also attempting to assist other domestic abuse victims through Refuge and two other organizations. She responds, “I’m glad I’ve opened up. This job has changed my life, and I’m going to meet the people at Refuge to see if I can help them.
She will miss Emmerdale, but she thanks the cast for their commitment and warmth. Everyone wants to work, but there is no skipping or trying to quit hard work, she says. Everyone wants to go there, and you always feel secure. Nobody will comment on a mistake, and nine times out of ten someone will say “yes” if you want to run through a scene before filming. Nobody should attend a school without being too cool.
She is aware that Celia’s moment was when she first met her creator despite the fact that she is depressed after being written out. She claims, “Oh my goodness, she had to be killed off.” Otherwise, she would have abandoned another family. Celia’s story has to completely change, so there is no hope of redemption for her. What would she do, though, even if she were to return? No, she was murdered in accordance with law.
She also lost control. Ray abruptly abandoned his orders. She was devastated for Celia because Ray’s love for Laurel caused her to dislike him, and he didn’t want to leave the village. Celia found it absurd that Ray wanted to lead a cute suburban life. She didn’t realize that he was looking for a change in life.
And she claims that the audience who first saw her in a local supermarket was delighted to meet the real Celia away from the set. She chuckles, “They have had a lot of salacious pleasure meeting her.” There is a “funny feeling” when meeting someone they wouldn’t want to meet in person, even though it’s not real. They first encounter Celia when they first meet her, and they kind of adore her.
According to Jaye, viewers will miss Celia if they only eat desserts with her. They may experience irreplaceable bad from them, she adds. When plans fail, all the other characters make bad decisions for good reasons. They behave differently than Celia. They will miss that, in my opinion.
And Jaye is pleased that Jaye’s portrayal of Celia helped to bring up some crucial issues. She adds, “I’m pleased we could lighten modern slavery.” Unfortunately, it does happen “all around us”. Jaye actually filmed her final scenes at the end of November, when she was treated to a massive leaving do despite only being recently written out.
She claims, “I drank far too much red wine, but I also had to keep Celia’s stick and hat.” It’s been a blast, and even when I moaned at some of her lines, it’s always so entertaining. When I permanently left the set, it nearly broke my heart.
Since her final day, she has been relaxing at home in Hertfordshire, spending Christmas with her family and two rescue dogs. And she has a new role on the horizon, although she is remaining tight lipped for now. “I can’t tell you about the role yet as I have signed so many non-disclosure forms,” she says. “But I will never forget Emmerdale. The dressing rooms are shared, nobody is in isolation and you always have a buddy. There is always someone to lend an ear and I think that is why Emmerdale is such a special place.”
Despite scrutiny of his occasionally drowsy appearance and the patches of makeup that have recently appeared on his hand, United States President Donald Trump has dismissed concerns about his health in a new interview with The Wall Street Journal.
The interview was published in the newspaper’s edition on Thursday. Trump was questioned by the reporters from the Wall Street Journal about his age, fitness, and recent medical conditions in its pages.

At times, the US president appeared to have had a mild irritability. At the beginning of their conversation, Trump said, “Let’s talk about health once more for the 25th time.”
Trump is 79 years old right now. He will be 82 years old by the time its conclusion, so should he finish his second term entirely.
He would surpass Joe Biden’s previous record set by him as the country’s oldest president ever to hold the record.
Trump has also been subject to scrutiny for his aging body and mind, just like Biden. Trump has been spotted nod off during public appearances since taking office in January 2025, and close-up photos of his hand as recently as December reveal thick patches of makeup.
Trump himself expressed concern in October when he revealed that he had undergone an MRI scan, a method frequently employed to diagnose and monitor serious conditions like cancer, heart disease, and other soft tissue conditions.

Trump insists that “nothing’s wrong,” saying that “nothing is wrong.”
Trump reversed on Thursday, stating that he had received a computed tomography (CT) scan rather than an MRI scan, which offers less detail and is more accurate.
One of his doctors previously referred to the procedure as a CT scan in addition to an MRI.
Trump expressed regret for getting any procedure when it was discussed because it fueled both media speculation and his critics.
Trump told the newspaper, “It’s too bad I took it because it gave them a little ammunition.”
“Oh gee, is something wrong with them, because the fact that I took it said, “Oh gee, is something wrong. “,” I said. Nothing is wrong, then, I suppose.
He denied any medical conditions. He told the reporters, “My health is perfect.”
Trump also refrained from claiming that he had snoozed at meetings. The president’s eyelids swelled forward in one instance during Trump’s cabinet meeting on December 2. He sat there as if nodding off.
Trump, however, attributed the media’s failure to spread false rumors in his Wall Street Journal interview. He compared the alleged sleeping incidents to the fact that “sometime they’ll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they’ll catch me with the blink.”
He acknowledged to the newspaper that he had asked White House staff to cut back on his schedule so that he could attend more crucial meetings, but he argued that the decision had no bearing on his level of concentration or alertness.
Trump claimed that he has never been a “big sleeper.”

high aspirin dosage
The Journal’s interview revealed that Trump had a lot of aspirin in his system and that was one of the biggest revelations.
Trump said, “I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart, but aspirin is good for thinning out the blood.” “I want thin, nice blood pouring through my heart.”
A heart attack or stroke is occasionally prevented by taking daily aspirin, especially in older people.
Trump claimed to be on the higher end of the spectrum, at least 325mg per day, compared to the Mayo Clinic, while the typical dosage starts at around 75mg.
Trump compared his doctors to his doctor, saying, “They’d rather have me take the smaller one.” The larger one, however, I’ve done it for years.
Trump attributed the high aspirin regimen to making his hands feel bruising-free, which is another source of persistent public scrutiny. When he is “whacked again by someone,” he explained, he uses makeup to conceal his actions.
He said, citing an instance in which Attorney General Pam Bondi accidentally cut his hand with her ring, “I have makeup that’s, you know, easy to put on, takes about 10 seconds.”
Trump, a devoted golfer, also confirmed to the Journal that he does not share Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or Pete Hegseth’s enthusiasm for exercise and fitness.
“I simply don’t like it,” she said. Trump called it “boring” and said it. It’s not for me to walk on a treadmill or run on one for hours like some people do.
Trump did, however, make the announcement that the Presidential Fitness Test would be relaunched in public schools in August. This is a nationwide physical fitness test for students in grades K through 12. In 2013 there were no longer any tests for all people, despite the inclusion of more inclusive fitness standards.
Fatphobic remarks made by members of Trump’s administration, particularly those directed at senior military figures with distinguished service, have also been condemned.
Hegseth told hundreds of military leaders at a meeting in Quantico, Virginia, in October that it was “tiresome to look out at combat formations” and “see fat troops” or “to see fat generals and admirals in the halls” when they entered the Pentagon.
Since the tumult of the 2024 presidential election, when Biden dropped his re-election bid due to questions about his age, has become a more pressing issue in the US political sphere.
The then-81-year-old Biden appeared to struggle to finish his thoughts during a particularly disastrous presidential debate on June 2024.
On the campaign trail, Trump, who has faced similar criticism, blasted Biden as “Sleepy Joe,” and he continues to use his Democratic rival’s skill to contrast with his own.
However, as older candidates for office age, questions about aging presidents have long been a source of concern.
Reagan, a Republican, was well known for challenging rumors about his qualifications, especially as he campaigned for a second term in the 1980s. When he left office, he was 77 years old, and by 1994, he had revealed that he had Alzheimer’s disease.
Zohran Mamdani was formally elected mayor of New York at a ceremony held on City Hall’s steps. The 34-year-old Democratic Socialist was the first Muslim to hold the office.
