MADRID — Three migrants who were trying to reach Europe, including a 10-year-old girl, died after their boat capsized in the Mediterranean Sea, Spain’s maritime rescue service said Wednesday.
A service spokeswoman said a Spanish Navy unit stationed on Alboran island, halfway between Spain and Morocco, rescued 30 migrants after the boat overturned Tuesday afternoon.
The spokeswoman said a 10-year-old girl was found dead and the woman died later. It was not immediately known if the two were related.
The body of a third person — a man — that had been reported missing was found by police divers Wednesday.
