Each year thousands of migrants make the journey from Western Africa to the Canary Islands
More than 30 migrants may have drowned after their boat sank in the Atlantic Ocean off the Canary Islands, two charities have said.
Walking Borders and Alarm Phone said the boat was carrying around 60 people.
Spanish authorities said rescue workers found the bodies of a minor and a man, and rescued 24 other people - but did not know how many people were onboard.
The incident places fresh scrutiny on Europe's response to migration, after a boat sank off Greece last week.
Helena Maleno Garzon, from Walking Borders, said that 39 people had drowned, including four women and a baby, while Alarm Phone said 35 people were missing. Both organisations monitor migrant boats and receive calls from people on board or their relatives.
The boat sank about 100 miles (160km) south-east of Gran Canaria on Wednesday.
"It's torture to have 60 people, including six women and a baby, waiting for more than 12 hours for a rescue in a flimsy inflatable boat that can sink," Ms Garzon said.
A Spanish rescue service ship, the Guardamar Caliope, was only about an hour's sail from the dinghy on Tuesday evening, Reuters reported, citing Spanish state news agency EFE.
The ship did not aid the dinghy because the operation had been taken over by Moroccan officials, which dispatched a patrol boat that arrived on Wednesday morning, 10 hours after it had been spotted by a Spanish rescue plane, Reuters reports.
The BBC has sent a request for comment to Morocco's interior ministry.
Angel Victor Torres, leader of the Canary Islands region, described the incident as a "tragedy" and called on the European Union to establish a migration policy that "offers coordinated and supportive responses" to the issue of migration.
Although off Africa's western coast, the Canary Islands are part of Spain, and many migrants travel from Africa to the archipelago in the hope of reaching mainland Europe.
The Western Africa-Atlantic migration route is considered one of the world's deadliest, and at least 543 migrants died or went missing on that journey in 2022, according to the UN's International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
IOM said there were 45 shipwrecks on the route during that period, but acknowledged the figure is "probably underestimated" because data is scarce and incomplete.
Most of those making the journey are from Morocco, Mali, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire and other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, it said.
Separately, Spanish authorities also rescued more than 160 people from three other boats near the islands of Lanzarote and Gran Canaria overnight on Wednesday and Thursday morning.
The news comes after a migrant boat carrying hundreds of people sank off the Greek coast last week, with at least 78 known to have died, although many more are feared to have drowned.
The UN's human rights office says that up to 500 people are still missing, and the BBC has obtained evidence casting doubt on the Greek coastguard's account of what happened. The coastguard claims that the boat was on a course to Italy and not in need of rescue.

Disney owns abc. They also own the publishing company Hyperion.
ABC is the home of Greys anatomy. Hyperion publishes the Rick Riordan books.
I have three canon lgbt ships from there.
Dr Caliope Torres and Dr Arizona Robbins (Greys Anatomy)
Nico di Angelo and Will Solace (Rick Riordan)
Magus Chase and Alex Fierro (Rick Riordan)
Dr Torres is bisexual. Doctor Robbins is a lesbian
Nico and Will are gay
Magnus is pansexual. Alex is gender fluid
Doctors Torres and Robbins were married
I have noticed. I think it’s called a correlation. Between people shipping a blonde and a Latina in Disney owned works. With out working out wether it fits with the canon evidence we have. Or if the hypothetical result would be healthy. Again given evidence in canon.
What worked. Callie and Arizona.
What doesn’t
Malvie and swan queen
Why I don’t and can’t ship swan queen
(Spoilers ahead)
For one. They’re related. Regina is Emma’s step grandmother. For another. Regina is the cause of damn near everything that’s gone wrong in Emma’s life from birth. I’m about 70% sure Regina planned on killing the new born Emma before charming put Emma through the wardrobe. Because of Regina Emma grew up in the system. Shunted from home to home with very little stability. She got her last name from the ugly duckling for crying out loud. And lest we forget that Regina planned on killing Emma with a poisoned apple turnover and continued with that plan even when she found out Emma was leaving town voluntarily. And only started to care when Henry’s life was in danger. Of course that would make a healthy relationship(!) NOT

3888hercules // in production // 2019
a live action remake of disney's 1997 Hercules. The son of Zues and Hera is kidnapped and stripped of his immortality. In order to take his rightful place on Mount Olympus he must train and prove himself to be a true hero.
first last ---- hercules
first last --- young hercules
first last --- phil
first last --- hades
amada torres --- meg
first last --- pain
first last --- panic
first last --- zues
first last --- hera
first last --- alcmene
first last --- amphitryon
first last --- hermes
first last --- clotho
first last --- lachesis
first last --- atropos

first last --- thalia
first last --- teripsicore
first last --- melpomene
first last --- apollo
first last --- hephestus
first last --- athena
first last --- aphrodite
first last --- nymph
i think it’d be great if this was a super diverse cast since the animated version the characters were a literal rainbow of colors. so there’s no real restriction on any of the characters other than the person playing hercules is involved in a want ad for amada. you can message me on tumblr or on discord at marv#3888

Happy Pride Month, tags!
As someone who is ace and bi, I know how important representation is, which is why we've decided to dedicate this month to promoting characters who are canonly LGBTQIA+. All of these characters would be very much wanted in our group, so we hope you'll bring them!
Today, I'm begging for Hen Wilson, Karen Wilson, Josh Russo (911), Paul Strickland (911 Lone Star), Jake Wong (The Resident), Travis Montgomery, Maya Bishop (Station 19), and Caliope Torres, Arizona Robbins, Carina De Luca, Levi Schmitt, Nico Kim (Greys Anatomy)!!

Callie: I hope you don’t take this the wrong way because the sex with you has been great, but...it just...makes me miss Arizona. Sex with you just makes me sad. Oh, no, that came out wrong. Sorry. Mark: No, I get it. Callie: Yeah? Mark: Last night, when we were doing it, I was thinking about Lexie... Callie: You were thinking about Lexie? Mark: I’m gonna need some more consonants. Callie: When we were having sex, you were think about Lexie? Okay, now, that’s just rude! Mark: You just said having sex with me makes you sad. Callie: Cause I’m amazing. Mark: I know! That’s why I suggested the wake up call. Callie: Get out. Seriously, get out! Mark: Now I’m missing Lexie even more. Callie: What was that? Mark: Nothing. Callie: I am amazing!

BEST SCENE EVER. Sara Ramirez deserves an award for this. "Jesus is my savior, daddy. Not you." In this clip, Callie argues with her dad over her recent homosexual activity. Her father starts quoting the Bible at her. She starts quoting Jesus right back at him.
