After that, we were transported to the Algerian border and abandoned in a desolate area. Many of us sustained injuries, with broken limbs and serious wounds from the physical abuse we endured. Stranded in a desert, we have no shelter and are forced to sleep under a bridge in freezing conditions. Hunger compounds our misery as we resort to begging for food in the streets. Our numbers exceed 250, and the situation worsens as more migrants join us daily.\u201d<\/p>\n

This plea for help follows the tragic news of over 150 Gambians reported dead due to irregular migration, underscoring the urgency of addressing the crisis. Press cannot independently verify the number of migrants stranded in Algeria.<\/p>\n
