The president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, and the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, José Luis Escrivá, met this Tuesday in Madrid to address the arrival of migrants to the Archipelago. The meeting takes place a day after registering a record in the arrival of migrants to the Canary Islands in a single day: 635 people on Monday, 126 of them possible minors.
The migrants arrived in six boats in Tenerife, Gran Canaria and El Hierro, reports EFE. Specifically, this Monday three canoes arrived in Tenerife, another in El Hierro and a fifth in Gran Canaria, an island where an inflatable boat was also rescued around midnight. In Tenerife, 386 people disembarked (380 men and six women, including 93 minors); in Gran Canaria, 183 (176 men and seven women, including 29 minors); and in El Hierro, 65 (62 men and three women, including four minors).
