One and a half thousand migrants arrived in the Canary Islands on Saturday, November 14. This is the highest number in a single day since 2020.

Twelve boats arrived at the island of El Hierro—one of the smallest in the archipelago. One more arrived at Gran Canaria and one at Tenerife. Most of the people on the boat with 240 passengers were from Senegal, The Gambia, and Guinea.

The number of migrants arriving in the Canaries from West African countries has increased sharply since October. 

The Atlantic route from West Africa to the Canary Islands is considered one of the deadliest migration routes in the world.

People head out into the ocean in overcrowded boats despite long distances, strong currents, and dangerous waves. Crossings usually increase in autumn because the sea along this route is calmer.

    Усіх прыняць, накарміць, размясціць у гатэлі і пасадзіць на датацыі. Усе свае дзеянні ўзгадняць з Вярхоўным муфціем Іспаніі. Усіх хто супраць, аб’явіць фашыстамі.

    Всех приютить, накормить, обуть, одеть, дать кров, денег. И ждать наплыва миллионов, пока они окончательно не поглотят социалистическую Европу. А как бы поступил коммунист Сталин или коммунист Мао? Сдается мне был бы отдан приказ: "Патронов не жалеть".
