What happened, where and when? On 20 July 2024, the National President of Equatorial Guinea Red Cross was alerted by government authorities from Bata when a shipwreck occurred on 20 July 2024, before dawn. The shipwreck is said to have occurred at the Rio Campo Cribi sea border between Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. The rescued passengers indicate that they had been travelling since 1st July 2024, trying to reach Gabon where they had been promised jobs. The boat’s captain escaped the boat upon seeing the coast of Equatorial Guinea, thus abandoning the passengers to their fate. This resulted into the shipwreck.
