Migrant deaths along the Atlantic route from West Africa to Spain's Canary Islands reached a record high last month with 379 lives lost, the International Organization for Migration said Friday Sept. 24, 2021. Those deaths account for nearly half the total number of casualties for all of 2021, 735 adults and 50 children, according to the United Nations agency's Missing Migrants Project.
