A few dozen survivors of a deadly sea attempt to migrate to Europe reunited with their tearful families in Senegal, a week after they were found adrift off the Atlantic archipelago of Cape Verde. A boat carrying more than 100 people is believed to have set off from Senegal toward Spain’s Canary Islands on July 10 but never reached its destination. More than 60 migrants are feared dead from the ill-fated voyage.

Senegalese officials said a military plane repatriated 37 men, including five minors and a citizen from neighbouring Guinea-Bissau, from Cape Verde's Sal Island on Monday.
