Spain Accepts 471 Migrants from North Africa; Retrieves Four Drowned Bodies from Med. Sea

Spain's maritime service said yesterday it picked up 471 migrants from more than 50 boats trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa, the Euro News website reports today (June 16, 2018).

Also, four drowned bodies were retrieved from the Mediterranean.

Thick fog is complicating efforts to find three more boats believed to be east of the Strait of Gibraltar.

More than 35,000 migrants have reached Europe so far this year, with over 10,000 arriving in Spain.
