The aid group Walking Borders says many children are on board the missing boat, which departed from Senegal.
Spanish rescuers are searching waters off the Canary Islands for a boat carrying at least 200 African migrants who went missing more than a week ago.
There are few details about the other two boats. Reuters news agency quoted Helena Maleno of Walking Borders as saying that one has about 65 people on board, the other up to 60, which would bring the total number of people missing across the three boats to more than 300., when an overcrowded trawler sank off the Greek coast.'Instead of saving us they sank the boat'
Last year at least 559 people died at sea attempting to reach the Spanish islands, the UN's International Organisation for Migration says. The death toll for 2021 was 1,126.
