Description
A boat from Senegal with 85 people on board arrives in La Restinga port on the Canary island of El Hierro. Javier Iglesias, a local restaurant owner, says that he sees these boats "every two days, every three days", with the regularity increasing in recent years. "I have been on island for seven years," he explains, "in the first four years I never saw a boat". The number of migrants reaching the Canary Islands has more than doubled in 2024, with interior ministry figures showing that 22,304 migrants reached the Atlantic archipelago in the period to August 15, up from 9,864 in the same period a year earlier.
