A canoe with 138 immigrants arrives at the port of La Restinga in El Hierro

A canoe with 138 immigrants on board, who apparently come from Senegal, has arrived this Friday at the port of La Restinga in El Hierro, according to sources from the Government Delegation on the island..

In principle, all the occupants of the boat have arrived in apparent good health, the sources have added, who have specified that steps are being taken for their transfer and proper care..

With the arrival of this last cayuco, the Canary Islands Route has ended this week with the rescue by Maritime Rescue of 887 migrants, the majority of sub-Saharan origin, from 16 different boats, six of which were cayucos, a type of large-capacity boat that has made a strong comeback in recent months.
