A record number of migrants reached the Canary Islands by sea in 2024, Spain says

A boat with 57 migrants onboard arrives at La Restinga port on the Canary island of El Hierro, on September 14, 2024.

The number beats the previous record, set in 2023, as a recent report also points at a peak in the number of deaths recorded in the dangerous Atlantic migration route.
