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

Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) personnel and Red Cross volunteers receive one of the more than 170 migrants who have arrived 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. The boat has arrived at the port of El Hierro. October 31, 2023. Photo by
