Migration: Fast 2200 Migranten erreichen Kanaren binnen zwei Tagen
Die Kanaren sind ein wichtiger Ankunftspunkt für Menschen, die aus Westafrika nach Europa fliehen. Nun sind innerhalb von nur zwei Tagen mehr als 2000 Migranten dort angekommen.
Within a span of two days, nearly 2200 migrants managed to reach the Canary Islands via boats, according to the Spanish rescue service. The service reported that they provided assistance to 1324 migrants on 14 inflatable boats. Most of these individuals reportedly arrived on the island of El Hierro, just slightly below the daily record set on November 7, 2020, when 1461 people were rescued.
The Canary Islands, located off the northwest coast of Africa, are one of the primary destinations for migrants entering Spain. Most of these migrants, numbering slightly over 28000 according to the Spanish Ministry of the Interior, arrived via sea between January and the end of October. Over 13000 of these individuals reached the Canary Islands.
