Many of those aboard the boat, which spent over a month at sea, were Senegalese.

Cape Verde officials have called for global action on migration to prevent further deaths.

The vessel was first spotted by police on Monday, according to AFP. In the beginning, it was reported that the boat had sunk, but later it was clarified that it had been found drifting.

According to police, a Spanish fishing boat spotted the wooden pirogue style boat off Sal, Cape Verde, and alerted authorities. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said four of the survivors were children between the ages of 12 and 16.

On 10 July, the boat left the fishing village of Fasse Boye with 101 people on board, according to the Senegalese foreign ministry.

Most of the people on the boat grew up in the village, and some families were still waiting to hear whether their relatives survived.

Senegalese nationals are being repatriated to Cape Verde, according to the ministry.

Among the countries of origin of the passengers are Sierra Leone and Guinea-Bissau.

Jose Moreira, a health official, said survivors are improving and are being treated, with a focus on rehydration and malaria testing.

Migration issues require international coordination, a lot of discussion, and a global approach, according to Health Minister Filomena Goncalves.

There needs to be a discussion between the nations about what can be done to prevent any more deaths at sea.

IOM spokeswoman said safe migration pathways are “sorely lacking” and allow people to be exploited by smugglers and traffickers.

In Sal, 38 people, including children, were rescued and helped ashore, some on stretchers.

Ukraine’s students are becoming accustomed to disruptions.

Student volunteers are helping new applicants enroll at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, a university in the nation’s capital.

Some of the current students have never attended a class here before.

As a result of the Covid [pandemic], and Russia’s full-scale invasion, they were never actually in class offline. It’s a little bit sad.”

“They ask pretty often if we have enough places in shelters for their children to study here,” Anna says.

Additionally, it puts even more pressure on students to decide which university to attend.

Without special permission from the authorities, no man between 18 and 60 can leave Ukraine during wartime.

Thus, male students who decide to study in Ukraine cannot travel abroad until the war is over. While students are currently exempt from being drafted into the army, those rules might change if Ukraine suddenly needs more men.

 When Russia invaded Ukraine last year, Liza fled west and eventually settled in Germany.

Once she passes the mandatory German language course, she plans to study sciences in the southern city of Konstanz on the Swiss border.

In preparation for university, the 17-year-old returned briefly home to Kyiv.

There are more shops open in Germany than in Kyiv, so I’m hoping to buy something there,” she says. She adds, “But it’s more expensive there, so I’ll thrift in Kyiv first.”
