    Forest Fire Devastates 2,000 Hectares - Spain

The forest fire declared yesterday, November 2, in the Valencian town of Montitxelvo has left 2,000 hectares burned and a difficult extinguishing situation due to strong winds. The fire has forced to evacuate about 850 people from several municipalities and urbanizations, including Ador, Vilallonga, Castellonet de la Conquesta, Terrateig and La Font d'En Carrós, and has confined Potries by smoke. Due to the impossibility of the aerial means to join the extinguishing work because of the wind, the presence of the UME and aerial means FOCA has been requested. It has been established the situation 2 of the Special Plan against the risk of forest fires to seriously affect the population and non-forest assets.

          More than 170 migrants arrives at the Port of La Restinga - Spain

          A cayuco with more than 170 migrants arrives at the Port of La Restinga on the island of El Hierro, October 31, 2023, in El Hierro, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain). A new cayuco has arrived today to the island of El Hierro with more than 170 migrants on board, all sub-Saharan, pending the final count. The skiff has reached the islands after managing to cross the Atlantic route after setting sail several days ago from some point off the coast of sub-Saharan Africa. The cayuco was intercepted at sea south of the island of El Hierro by a patrol boat of the Guardia Civil -without the intervention of Salvamento Marítimo- and escorted to the port, where its occupants have been assisted by the staff of the Canary Emergency Service (SUC) and Red Cross volunteers, who have provided hygiene kits, clothing, footwear, blankets and food.
