Victim

Confirmed death

Mbene Diop

A young Senegalese woman, she died on the Strait of Gibraltar crossing at the young age of 21. A hairdresser, she had moved to Morocco to save money and undergo an operation that would allow her to become a mother. She was afraid of dying in the operating room in her native country, hence her need to reach Spain. Unfortunately, her body was found lifeless near the city of Algeciras (Spain) by the Spanish rescue services.

Last thing said:

“I have no intention of crossing over to Spain, dear brother. I am starting to save money with hairdressing in Morocco, and I am doing quite well.”
