More than 1,000 Dead on the Algeria Route: Who Searches When Boats Vanish Without a Trace?

Answer

What should authorities in Mallorca and Madrid do after these missing-boat cases?

They should make search corridors and responsibilities clearer and agree on joint operating rules for the Balearic region. The report also points to the need for better data collection and independent investigations so patterns can be tracked over time. Without that, repeated disappearances are likely to remain poorly understood.
