Spanish rescue teams rescued dozens of stranded migrants from the island of Gran Canaria, and transferred them Wednesday evening to the port of Arguinguen, where they received medical treatment from the Red Cross. The group included women and minors. The Spanish Maritime Rescue Service announced that 7 wooden boats carrying more than 500 people were spotted off the island of El Hiero in one day. This is against the background of an increase in the proportion of immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands during November, despite a decrease in the number of arrivals to the archipelago by 5.5% from the beginning of the year until October 31, compared to the corresponding period in 2025.
